[blparent] powdered formula

[Pipi]

To add to this thread, along with using a formula dispenser, I bought only 
the gerber bpa free bottles. I was first given some and loved them for a few 
reasons. The main thing was that they were wide mouthed bottles. This made 
pouring the powdered formula into the bottle so much easier and hardly any 
mess if at all. The funnel and the baggies with the corner cut off are also 
ways that I prevented messes. I also used either the dispenser or the travel 
packs of formula when traveling.
