Anyone who's using Formula instead of breast milk...

Hi ,.. I use the powder formula called good start for my 9 month old as well as I used it for my 2 yr old when she was on formula... I have tried the cans, but found the powder a cheaper alternative .. I have tried a few other kinds of formula with my 9 month old but found they all made her gassy where as the good start is supposed to me made gentler on their tummies .. or so the can says lol ... as far as the 50/50 and ready to use formula my son is going to be 6 soon and I remember using both of those when he was a baby .. not too sure if they where available before that though. Also I used bottled distilled water that I buy at the grocery store which was oked by my paediatrician when my son was born, and so forth .. I have always checked with the drs for every baby and they have said it is fine .. much easier to buy a couple of jugs of water at the grocery store and just pour it as I need it instead of boiling.

I have to say that the ready to use formula may be more expensive but my baby gets gas from everything else.  The powder formula has so much air in it from shaking that he spits up all day if I give it to him and the 50-50 formula isnt all that less expensive than the ready made.  Its just so much easier and less time consuming for me to just pour it into the bottle for him and have him drink it right away.

Hi,  That was interesting.  In Australia we have the one scoop v 50 ml of pre-boiled water formula in ,ilk, soy, milk lactose free and now with added omega 3 (for smarter babies), but all the milk ones are pretty much the same.  I have not come across 50-50 or ready to go here at all.  I wonder why, are they new out??
