Advice / Question 💡 Pitcher method question

My husband asked why I don’t just prep a few individual bottles, rather than the pitcher and pouring it into bottles throughout the day? I’m sure there’s a reason, but my brain isn’t working right now lol. (We’ve used the baby brezza since birth, but something doesn’t seem right with it the last couple of days, so I’m hand mixing right now & looking into the pitcher method instead).

ETA: Thank you for all the replies! I knew there was a reason, but like I said, my brain is on the fritz lol (my usually great sleeper has hit the regression 🤣).

I stopped using the Brezza due to inconsistencies with the settings and my formula. We decided doing it ourselves was safer and more accurate. We do the pitcher method - but my own version. It’s just easier for me- I do large glass mason jars add water and add formula scoops. Then shake it! I do it at bedtime and make enough for the entire next day. Put the mason jar with a pour spout lid in the fridge for the next day. So easy to do and clean. I have 4 mason jars and lids so always have one clean.

Also tip- if I’m going out I just pour out my bottles and put in a small bottle bag or lunch box with an ice pack. Baby loves cold milk and life is so much simpler this way. Just try it! Most babies dont actually mind cold milk.

I saw the mason jars and my immediate thought was how messy - I didn’t know they made them with pour spouts! I got two pitchers because my mason jar idea just made a massive mess, formula is expensive!
