FF Brands/Companies should make 'tester' tubes for newborns so we don't waste money!

Just a random though I was thinking!

I think that milk brand/companies should do half sized tubes of powder to get at least 3 feeds out of for when your testing whats best for your newborn.

A little like what B&Q do with their paint test pots for £2.40 for the colours instead of your buying the full £19 tin and hating the colour when you paint your living room!.. because I know a lot of you ladies when your LO is here you buy a brand which would last a week and by the 3rd day your LO's body isn't taking to it so you've got to test another brand.

Then you think, great half a tube of formula wasted and I know it's all about trial and error with getting the correct FF but I know I hate wasting money and food wise but on the other hand I know its not LO's fault their body can't take that brand!

Just a general though I was thinking whilst waiting to be a mummy in December; because you can't take the FF once opened back to the supermarket!

Anyone else think the same!?

i noticed in my local nisa they actually do the 400g tubs rather than the 900g ones but unfortunately they are not half the price... just a couple of pounds cheaper!

Thing is it's best to wait a couple of weeks before switching to give LO's tummy time to get used to processing a brand, in which time you will most likely get through almost 2 full sized tubs!
