Do you use powder or ready to pour?

[GreyGirl]

We use powder most of the time and cartons when out and about. We sometimes take powder and a flask of hot water when out, but not all the time.

With DS #1 we used the ready to feed because he spit up alot and the ready to feed seemed to be thicker and stayed down better.

With DS #2 we use ready to feed when he gets the occasional formula bottle (I EP the rest of the time).

I exclusively pump and provide the occasional Ready to Feed formula as well
..Pumping already consumes much of my time, making up powder would only add to it LOL

We used powder with Sam (except when out) and I loathed all the work in making up bottles.

Have only used ready feed so far with Oscar and love it, not just quick and convenient but none of that stress about not being sterile / debating about pre-making. Said I'd "treat" myself to it for the first 2 months but not sure I can bear to go back to powder!

Very expensive though - use Cow & Gate, he has nearly a full litre bottle a day at £2.69 so about £80 a month. Not sure how long I can justify that for!

We use the powder. Super easy and DS seems to be doing REALLY well on it!! Plus, I like the cost way better than ready-to-use

the one that i have to use unfortunately only comes in powder. she had ready to feed in the NICU though, but she only took like an ounce or so

I use Ready To Feed. The powder seemed to make PJ very gassy.

I use powdered during the day at home and used ready to feed for nightfeeds when they had them. I use ready to feed when out.
