[blparent] powdered formula

[sharon howerton]

That would have been my suggestion, too, which is what I did with my second 
son 26 years ago! Making a pitcher was easier and obviously the place in 
which to pour the powder was larger. I also always put the formula into the 
pitcher and poured over the sink which I do now with many other things. 
Putting the powder and hot water into a pitcher enabled mixing easier, too. 
Good luck to you young parents!
