[blparent] blparent Digest, Vol 124, Issue 22

[Danielle Antoine]

My mom has my sister's baby and they used to heat up bottles in the
bottle warmers when we were little. However, for some reason she has
chosen not to do that anymore but just mix room temp water add the
powder and shake. What's the reason for those warmers anyway in case
you put the formula in the fridge? And she uses something called
Nursery Water. To me, nursing is a hole lot easier personally.
Thanks for all your responses and yes I did want to know about mixing
the formula. I have trouble remembering the amount of formula to water
and of course if the bottle is bigger than 5 ounces I can't tel where
the measurement of the amount of liquid in a bottle. I do notice that
the babies smell different who drink formula and the No. 2's are
harder to clean up and smell stronger.
