Ready made formula


Have anyone found that ure LO's prefer formula out a carton to powdered form? My wee man seems to down ready made formula in about 10 minutes whereas it can sometimes take him up to an hour to finish a bottle of powdered milk!! He obviously has expensive taste

We only realised this today as we were out for lunch and he has two 5oz bottles whilst we were out. At home its a hit or a miss if he will take the full 5oz and as I said above it takes him ages. We are going to start buying him cartons for his last feed at night in the hope he takes a full feed and sleeps longer, well thats the plan anyways

Brooke has always had ready made but powdered does look thinner and more watery

We've never used powder. don't like the sound of the fuss of making it up. i'd rather go without luxuries for myself in order to afford it.

Ruby takes 45oz a day so she might not be a good example! It costs £15 a week.

Is it true they take more ready made than they do powdered? Why is that?

I have never used ready made as Freya is on Wysoy and they don't make it. We don't get it on prescription either so it is expensive enough as it is!

Sorry I posted before I read that bit! Our powder costs about the same as this, it is £9 a tin, and we get through at least 1.5 tins a week, sometimes 2.
