What kind do u use and is it powder or concentrate? I use nestle good start supreme and I use concentrate which is a pain in the rear to make and whatever is made has to be used within 24 hours, I am gonna switch to powder since it is much more convienient especially when goin out with the concentrate I always have to find a way to warm it up but with the powder I can take the room tempature sterile water and there ya go a bottle is ready lol also I have heard that some of the good start and enfamil concentrates were recalled a long time ago due to some bacteria getting in the 13 oz concentrated formula. Scary! ~ erica.

Im breastfeeding but I use formula once in a great while if im out someplace and I dont feel like pulling my boob out lol... I use powder, I never know if shes gonna get hungry or not, so I just keep a little can of formula in the diaper bag, and before I leave I fill a bottle with water... I add the formula when she gets hungry so that way im not wasting Laughing ive made several bottles and she never got hungry, and yup, it went down the drain. I felt like it was such a waste.

U just gotta be careful with powder formula! It expires within 30 days as soon as u open the tin.... So be careful of that!

Oh yeah I know but my baby is a lil piglet so no non of that will go to waste but its better than 24 hours of the concentrate and I have to pre make those bottles. At least with powder I can just make it as he is hungry. I swear the next baby I have I am totally breastfeeding. ~ erica.

Lol hell yea breastfeeding is so much easier! At night, when baby is hungry, and your soo incredibly tired, all you gotta do is pull out your boob. Laughing I even fall asleep sometimes when im feeding her... You cant do that with a bottle... I think bottles use too much concentration, yea im lazy Laughing
