How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
I don’t remember my best friends’ birth dates 😳
So Sanofi is setting up an analytics center in Hyderabad and seems to be recruiting quiet aggressively. I am negotiating on an offer but it quite low compared to industry standards. Does anybody have any idea how it is? They seems to have barely anything set up as of now. Sanofi Eli Lilly and Company ZS Associates

Baby Brezza was a lifesaver for us
OP it’s like a keurig for baby bottles. It heats up the water to the right temp and makes the bottle. It’s great! It can be a pain to clean but I couldn’t live without it!
Get infant water from Walmart - we used the same for both of our kids.
Pro
I line up several bottles, put formula powder and the water in, cap, shake, refrigerate. If there are lumps when I’m ready to use, I stir them up with a butter knife. My baby will drink it cold or warm. I’ve never boiled water or heated the bottles. 🤷🏻♀️
Agreed - we just used room temp tap water, so it was easy to mix on demand. Ped said that was fine.
I have not formula fed so this might be what you’re doing, but can you just make a single pitcher of formula and make bottles from that? I’ve seen that people label a big measuring cup or solo cup with how much powder makes a pitcher to cover the full next day’s bottles. Also I personally wouldn’t boil the water if you live in an area with solid water quality.
Pro
That’s what I do but just in a big jar. Our pediatrician said boiling the water is mainly due to bacteria that could be in the formula and not the water itself. I guess there was a recall a few years back due to contamination at one of the plants causing bacteria in the formula powder…?

Use room temp bottled water if you’re worried about water quality. Unless your baby has a comprised immune system, the risk of bacteria from formula is ... like nonexistent. The boiling seems excessive.
Then just make bottles as you need them throughout the day with room temp water. Making a pitcher with boiling water seems like such a hassle!
Idk if boiling water is due to the water quality where you live, but that does seem like a lot of work. We were using distilled water in the beginning and the ped said our city water supply was good and we should use that instead.
We used to make bottles ahead of time to store in the fridge and it become too much to warm up the bottle in the middle of the night. So we just make bottles on demand now using room temp water and it works for us.
We pre-measure out the formula so making bottles in the middle of the night is easier.

Definitely can switch to room temp water.

Totally agree it’s too much work - I was also doing this because my doula said I needed to boil
It due to bacteria in the formula. However, none of my friends did this (just used tap water) and we couldn’t get temp right so baby wouldn’t drink it. My pediatrician said there is no need to boil water and I can use regular water. I googled it and you can also used distilled water.
We premeasured formula powder and kept it near our countertop water filter with empty bottles. Just add water, powder, shake and go. Our kid didn’t care if fomula was warm, but we did have a bottle warmer too- Koze kiinde model was great.
I used the small medela pump collector containers here and a small funnel for formula. Boiling water seems like a lot, we never did except when traveling in India.
