Powdered Formula

[brownhairedmom]

How many oz can you get out of a can of powdered formula? like a 700g one? how long does it normally last?

A can would only last me like 3-4 days... it was way cheaper to buy conentrate.

A 900 gram can lasts us a little over a week, and 780 gram can lasts us about a week. We use Nestle good start and switch between the one with Omegas and the one without (the one without is bigger and cheaper!)

 

[xJG30]

Lasts just over a week for us

Lasts just over a week. A little longer now that Erin is on 4 bottles a day. xx

 

[princess_bump]

our's last's us around 1 week/6days x

 

[ryder]

How'd you all get it to last a week... lol... it lasted a week when Jasmine was a newborn and having 2-3oz bottles lol.

Mine lasts about a week. Maybe 5 days. Helena drinks 4 - 6 ounce bottles.
It's the Gentlease and its a smaller can.

I have no idea it's always lasted about that long. But though the amount Hannah eats per time has gone up, the hours between have also increased and she really has never had more than 24 ounces in 24 hours unless she had hit a growth spurt.

 

[ryder]

24oz an hour eh???

 

[Vickie]

in 24 hours

About a week and a half

For the nestle goodstart omega 3/6 a can is 730g and it takes 9g to make 2oz of formual so it works out to 162oz and at an average of 30oz a day it lasts about 5 days for us. Powder is good for 30days once that can has been opened.

I only buy the powder if I am getting the bonus pack that comes with an extra sample can (340g) otherwise the cost per ounce for me is cheaper for liquid concentrate.

 

[brownhairedmom]

Yeah I think the concentrate is the better deal for me. I think I'm just going to use powdered mixed in her food

 

[Dani_b]

a tin would last me about a week also. i would always have a spare one in just incase

 

[ColtonsMom]

a can lasts Colton two days. Thats a 12oz can (dont know the grams). It's only lasted 2-2.5 days since he was like 7 months old. He has around 30oz average a day, now. But was on like 44-48oz, so he is getting a bit better.
We use Nestle Good Start Natural Cultures, and get 10 free cans from WIC, which lasts 20 days. Then we buy about 5 cans a month (approx. $100)

I have the 700g one last for 8 days.
It depends on the week, her eating is very erratic.
