Did you give both powder and RTF formula?
I have those RTF bottles that my BIL gave us and we did not use them. DS was not crazy about them but that was several months ago.
Do you use both simultaneously?

Re: Did you give both powder and RTF formula?
In general I use only powdered formula. Partly it's b/c Caden's bottles are a bit of a concoction. 1/2 Gentlease 1/2 Regular formula + Rice Cereal. Gentlease only comes in powdered so it just makes sense that I would stick with the powder...BUT...Ive run out of the regular powder in the past and Ive had to use RTF instead. It was no different..

I only used power because that is all his formula came it. But even if it came in RTF, I wouldn't have used it. I like powder.

Re: Did you give both powder and RTF formula?
We did this once for 2 days. We ran out of RTF so we used the powdered. Well both nights DS woke up in the middle of the night - one night he woke up 2x, which was unusual. After we went back to RTF he was back to sleeping through the night 10 hours.

Same with us. Started with RTF and then switched to powder.

Re: Did you give both powder and RTF formula?
We got tons of rtf 8 oz bottles from the ped. We use powder, but I always have a rtf in DS's diaper bag and I have used it in a pinch at home. THe only thing is, DS does not eat 8 oz, so I pour what we need into a bottle, and then refrigerate the rest until another feeding that day. DS does not have a problem switching back and forth. THe only problem for me is that it stains so much more than the powder (I have a dribbler)!

Re: Did you give both powder and RTF formula?
I did. We started out with RTF when he wasn't eating so much and making bottles seemed too confusing for me to handle. After a few weeks though, I started using powder, though I used RTF here and there initially. Now, we exclusively use powder. Much cheaper and easier to transport.

When we came home from the hospital we used the RTF. They gave us A LOT so we used them up. Bought some for about the first month or so and that was it. We just switched over to powder

Re: Did you give both powder and RTF formula?
We do both now, depending where we are going. If we are anywhere that the bottle can get too hot, we use the powder. But if we go to a restaurant or friend's house, we bring the RTF. But he's still getting most of his meals through BF.
