Similac sensitive powder

  • My LO is on the liquid but I plan to change her to powder once the liquid we have is gone. I talked to a mom of a 7 month old that's has been on the powder since she was 2 weeks old. She said that she used gas drops to get rid of the bubbles.

  • I heard Dr. Browns makes a formula mixer. Some mix it in that before putting it in the bottle to help with the bubbles.You want to make sure you are sorta swirling it around vs. shaking it to stir. The shaking motion will create a lot of bubbles/gas. We u
  • I stir his bottle up with a spoon instead of shakeing the bottle. our little guy did not  do well with the gas drops, he was fussier with them.
  • I bought the prince lionheart formula mixer for 7 bucks on amazon. It works like a charm and only takes a second to mix! No bubbles or clumps.
