Preparing baby milk in nurseries

We are reviewing our policy on Baby Milk preparation. For the past 6 months we have been making up baby formula bottles up fresh each time. This means boiling the water and allowing it to cool before giving it to the babies. This obviously has to be thought through in advance and has some serious disadvantages. This was based on NHS guidelines claiming that bacteria would be killed off if prepared in this way. The guidelines also recommended not heating up bottles in a microwave because of the potential hot spots forming in the milk. However, after a recent discussion with a local health visitor, she suggested that to minimise the stress for the babies (and staff!) formula feeds can be prepared in advance and stored in the back of the fridge. (for up to 24 hours) I would like to find out what other nurseries do with milk preparation so that we can confirm our ongoing approach and adjust policy accordingly. Looking forward to hearing what you all do.
