Out of curiosity...

Roughly how often do have to buy a new tub of formula?

I plan on breastfeeding but want to cover all bases. We struggled to find any answers with our Google search so thought asking on here would be worth a shot! I understand that a newborn baby isn't going to go through a tub of formula as fast as a 6 month old, we're just looking for a rough idea.

Thanks X

At the moment we use a tub every 8-9 days but it really varies depending on whether he's having a growth spurt. When he was newborn and we were combi feeding I used the premade formula as it was easier to give that in the smaller amounts he was taking.

About a tub a week at this point. The tubs are 900g and can make 190oz of milk. My LG has 30oz a days so a tub lasts 6 and a bit days.

I actually found a newborn went through it quicker. Up until 12 ish weeks we were doin almost 2 cartons a week, little and often at that stage and a lot gets dumped at 6 months they have bigger in volume but generally less of them, plus weaning starts, so at that stage one was lasting us almost 10 days!

From friends and family, one 900 gram tub per week.

Sophie was on formula from 11 months and used a half a tub a week I think.

Between 7-10 days x
