formula question.

Safaribaby · June 2010

When I make my LO formula and I shake it in the bottle it gets really frothy and bubbly - is there a way to avoid this?

How do you mix LO formula in the bottle?

I would use a baby spoon when she was taking the smaller 4 oz bottles but now I have to use a dinner knife (or something long) for the 8 oz bottles. We use Dr Brown's and they are long and skinny.

I also have a Dr. Brown's formula pitcher and will make a days worth of bottles at once and it doesn't get frothy at all.

DD uses Mylicon for gas. I put two drops on Mylicon in the bottle and shake it up. It takes away the bubbles immediately. I wouldn't recommend using Mylicon unless it is necessary

BRU sells a battery operated hand mixer in their bottle section. I'll admit, I thought it was dumb at first but DH insisted we needed it... It does eliminate the froth factor if you're really concerned about it.

Another option is to just shake it and then let it sit for a minute or two. The bubbles usually die down on their own in that case. Obviously this won't work if you have a vey hungry baby. But if you know you're getting close to a feeding, you could do it.
