    wow really?  huh.  I am lost then.  I had the issue when I was using room temp water and then storing a pitcher full in the fridge.  Now that I do a bottle at a time and heat the water first, I don't have issues at all.  Maybe try the Dr Browns pitcher?  https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dr.-Brown-s-Formula-Mixing-Pitcher/10803954

    I mix with a spoon vs shaking and if there are any clumps I just spoon them out otherwise it runs the risk of clogging up the nipple.

    Wouldn't doing this over time reduce the amount of food your LO is getting? 

    I mix with a fork, rather than a spoon, when I see clumps.  It seems to get the clumps better for me.
