[blparent] EXTERNAL:Re: hello i have some questions!

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

The powder formula has a 30 day lifespan once you open it. So be aware
of that. And, I think it needs to be kept in a climate controlled place,
i.e. you wouldn't want to take a can of powdered formula and leave it in
the car thinking "I'll just keep this here and I'll have it when we're
out". 
The canned liquid formula is the most expensive. It is essential though
if you are ina position not to trust your water supply.  I used the
liquid cans of formula at my parents' house as they are on a well.  If
you aren't used to it, the well water can give you a good case of the
runs. 
The most expensive option is bottles that are prefilled with formula.
They are like six or eight ounces. They're good for camping or if you
will be living without electricity, you break the seal, the kid drinks
it and sealed bottles can be stored at room temperature for I think a
year. 
Bottom line, you wn't be using formula forever, so th expense isn't
worth fretting over.

One thing to consider is the liquid, or ready-made formula is the most
expensive and I believe that it must be used in 24 hours once it's
opened.
I find the powder is the least expensive and it's the most convenient to
take somewhere because you don't have to worry about it spoiling.  You
can
just add water to the powder when you need formula and it's all set.

I'v measured formula for a long time, made my 1st bottle when I had
sight at
7 1/2, and it worked just fine.
Yes, there is 1 oz. more in a bottle, but that doesn't matter.

They also have little formula packages, and they're already measured
out...
Or, there is liquid formula, that you just poor, no water, or measuring
needed

That doesn't work because there is aabout an ounce more than the bottles
markings on the bottle, and sometimes more depending on the brand.

If you are using 4 oz. bottles, you can fill the bottle completely with
water, and put 2 scoops of formula in it... and shake it.
If using a 8 Oz. bottle fill bottle, and put 3 scoops of formula in it.
Shake Thorly fill with warm water.
I hope this helps.

Hello to all! I just had a little baby girl last week. I was wondering
as a
blind mother how do u fill the bottle with water to the right line for
the
formula. I am having some trouble getting the amount of water just
perfect
for the bottles. I was wondering if any of u had any suggestions on how
to
make bottles. I tried getting a cup of water and pooring the water in to
a
measureing cup and then pooring that in to the bottle but for some
reason it
doesn't come out right. I want to thank all of u for your time and
appreciate all your help.
Crystal
