formula feeders do you

mix the bottles and send them or do you just send along the bottles and mix/powder

Our daycare center requires the bottles to be premixed, dated, and labeled with DC's name.

we mix them, but most just let the place do it.  I think we just got in the habit while she was on BM, so we just kept it up

When DD was on formula (8-12 months) I just left a can at her daycare providers and she mixed them herself as needed. She's at a small home daycare though, centers might not be OK with that.

Our DC requires the bottles to be premixed and labeled.  They warm the bottles in a crock pot.

I sent the mix measured in a container, and bottles with water. DD took her formula room temperature. I was the only one, though. The other parents sent a jug of nursery water and can of formula and just brought clean bottles each day.

Daycare has a can of formula and bottles  in DS's cubby....They mix it and wash the bottles.  DS takes room temp bottles....but I think they use warm tap water.

I pre-mixed.  Only emergency bottles were unmixed.  But I know another friend's provider mixes it for her.  So just depends on the provider.
