Dr. Brown has a pitcher that you can use to premix and store formula in the fridge. Def worth buying over this unless you just think the bottle is cool and are willing to spend extra.

Ingredients to Avoid in Baby Formula
Baby formulas must include the ingredients above, but what else is included in their composition depends on the manufacturer’s formulation. In some cases, there may actually be harmful ingredients in the baby formula that don’t stand out right away. The best way to get a sense of what’s in baby formulas is to compare the ingredient labels of multiple brands.

Here are a few common commercial harmful baby formula ingredients that you may want to avoid:

Corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, and other added sugars, as these may contribute unnecessary sweeteners to your baby’s diet.
Added DHA and ARA, as these are commonly processed using hexane solvents, a neurotoxin, and are not necessarily beneficial in this scenario.
Palm oil, which is highly destructive to the environment and may inhibit calcium absorption in infants.
Carrageenan is a thickener derived from seaweed that, while generally recognized as safe (GRAS), may cause intestinal inflammation as demonstrated in some animal studies.
Heavy metals and pesticides, which are not listed on the label, should also be avoided. But, you can minimize your exposure by choosing products that have been independently tested for these contaminants.
Hormones and antibiotics, which may be present in dairy-based baby formula as a result of animal agriculture practices.
Artificial, synthetic flavors, or colorings, may increase the likelihood of hypersensitivity and behavioral disorders.

In the 30s and 40s, 80% of bottlefed babies were given canned evaporated (full fat) milk as formula.
Recipe: 13 ounces (1 can) evaporated milk, 19 ounces sterile water, 1 ounce Karo syrup (clear type).
Goat's milk was given to babies allergic to cow's milk.
Liquid baby vitamin drops (with iron) was given daily with this formula. The minerals came from our water.
We turned out good.

My dad never used the bottles without the plastic bags inside them when feeding me.

[AhayahsArtist]

For the kabrita I noticed it does have for infant

[hannahd]

So how is the water going to be warm once I mix formula with it? Doesn’t it need to be lukewarm?

[abutterfly]

Instead of spending a fortune on these bottles, you can buy a little round container that has dividers to put your formula into and then you just pour it into your regular bottle as needed. I’m sure that would be way less expensive than buying these fancy bottles and way less complicated to wash these constantly.

Will my babe cry like a goat if i give him goat milk?

[zamzamalifarah]

Do I have to talk to pediatrician my milk is decreasing and my baby is demanding more it’s more of an emergency can I skip the consultation

Cool idea for a bottle but this one is literally just an advertisement for this baby bottle.

The bottle is convenient if the baby takes the bottle. We bought three kind before he chose the one he like.

But now we’re finding out the plastic is leaching all kinds of stuff out especially when it’s microwaved and when it’s shaken, the particles of plastic are like a scale inside the bottle and come off into the milk, you’re feeding your baby
