Everyone I know who formula feeds uses the powder version...


What version do you use?


I ask because after a short stint in special care baby unit where they use pre made formula in cartons I discovered 1 litre bottles of formula ( use within 48 hours). I did the maths and the 1 litre bottles are much more cost effective and you get more for your money. Of course it is not suitable if you are on the go and during night feeds.

I had no idea you could get 1ltr of ready made!


Justget whatever suits you. I don't find powder too much of a faff now I'm used to it and I have the kit that I am used to (dispenser, thermos, etc etc) so i doubt there is that much difference to the methods once you are used to it.


Ready made is probably easier overnights though.

When mini strawbs was born we used the ready made as we were waiting for my milk to come in which took a while.. Once he went on to formula full time we used the big tin.. As he needed gaviscon in his feeds too we put powder and meds in. Bottle without water (about 8) so they were ready to go. We put two at a time in the fridge and reheated when needed.


A friend showed me a great trick for making a bottle ready to go - for a 6oz bottle put 4oz of cooled boiled wter in and then top up with 2 oz of boiling hot water and it didn't require any cooling down.. Powder dispenser and a thermos were invaluable for when we were out and about (I use the brother mac slimline dispenser - you can get one from Jo Jo on the lane)..


I did find using a tin vs pre made was cheaper.. I saw the 1 litre cartons only after we had starting using the tins..


Good luck!

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
