Guidelines for making up formula

[Gayle30]

I have to add nutramigen powder to cold water. Add it to hot and it goes lumpy. Its not like the likes of aptamil. So I make up her 3 bottles at night for the next day and put in the fridge. Then when its feed time I put the powder in and warm in the bottle warmer. Its the only way it can be done with this formula. We were told by the paediatrician thats ok. I agree though. Do whats best for you and your little one. Xx

gayle, my little girl is on nutramigen too - ive not noticed it going lumpy before though? not questionning what youre saying by any means - is it the lipil one you use?

Thats very strange! I think Squeakz uses it too, have you noticed it becomes lumpy?
I have to add gaviscon to it now to help thicken it and to try with possetting, doesnt seem to thicken it too much though and im wondering if thats down to the milk

Sticks in the teat when you mix it. It says to add to room temp water that's been boiled though?

Oh does it? i will double check my tins - if its right then it will make everything alot easier!! (im not disputing what youre saying btw!!)

Daisy Grace has nutramigen 2. The follow on. Its maybe different. But it most defo clumps in boiled water. Its not so bad adding to room temp as then I just heat in micro or bottle warmer. However-it doesnt address the issue of killing the bacteria in the powder. But im guessing as the tin says that is what to do it must be ok?!! Oh what a headache. Roll on no bottles lol xx

were on neocate and if the waters too hot then it clumps in the teat as well.....we use colled boiled water...again doesnt massively address the issue of bacteria in the formula but its very rare for it to cause any problems anyway.

 

[DaisyDoo]

Ah ok, didnt realise it was nutramigen 2! i'll remember that for when eva moves up onto it!

Is it a different consistency then from 1 to 2? I thought we were doing it wrong there. Phew. Its crap hu squeeks. Drives me nuts when it clogs the teat. End up squeezing it out like im milking a mini udder!! Xx
