[blparent] Feeding. Feeding Issues!

[Wendy Meuse]

Probably wanted to know how to mix the formua am i right?  i used to just get someone to read me the directions on the can or 
whatever.  For a while  I was using the powdered similac and there was a little scoop inside the can.  I think it was four of thse 
little scoops for one bottle and then fill the bottle with boiling water make sure it all disolves and then cool.  Then I got smart 
and got the can of similac that you add a can of similac and a can of boiling water.  I used to staralize a jug and make enough for 
several bottles.  I kno they have the ready made stuff as well.  I didn't use thee powdered stuff for long I can tell you.  it was 
cheaper yes.  But what a hastle.  not only that it made the baby stink.  i didn't have to use formula for long thank goodness.  Mom 
told me that when she had the kids and she couldn't nurse for a while she used to mix up her own.  I wish she could remember how. 
it was interesting but also sounds like a bit of a hastle.  i really liked nursing but I know some people don't care for it.  Hope 
this helps.

Best way to formula feed is pop the bottle in their
mouths and let them enjoy. I really don't understand this question.
As for brands of bottles, why do you care about this for other people's
kids? I get wanting to know brands for your own babies but if you're very
occationally taking care of other babies, tell the parents to provide the
supplies.
Is there something I'm missing?

Hello All,

I don't know any other way than to be wordy about it. I breastfeed but on
the occasion I use bottles every once in  a while. I always get my kids used
to taking a bottle so in the event one Is needed they won't give the person
present trouble about taking one. And I always supplement with breast milk.
However, most of my family members use bottles and formula. I have on the
rare occasion kept there kids and asked them to measure out the amount of
formula before dropping them off. What is the best way to handle formula
feeding? I came across this formula machine while shopping and thought that
was a great solution but I know it's being done without this. Also, my
children never took more than 4 oz. bottles since they were exclusively
brestfed. Do you all use the 8 oz. or above bottles and how do you do this?
Which are your favorite brands?

TIA,
Danielle
