Pre-mixed single serving formula

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I'm starting the transition from BF to formula, before LO goes to daycare, so I picked up the type of formula that they use on daycare to see if he likes it or if I'll need to provide my own (Gerber good start).  I bought a can of the powder, and also a pack of "nursettes," little 3 oz glass bottles that you just pop a nipple on and feed.

He guzzles down the powder, but absolutely turns his nose up at the nursettes... anybody have any experience with this?  I assumed they'd be the same, but they look different, smell different, and apparently must taste different.  Disappointing, because I was hoping that would make things easy for MOTN feedings.

Thanks
Jess

    My husband and I were talking about the formula because I wondered why it looked, smelled, tasted different...then he said it was probably because the pre-made was loaded with preservitives. Which makes sense... perhaps your little one doesn't like that. All I can say is keep trying, maybe try when he is extra hungry it seems.

    Although it's the same nutritionally, it's a different product. it's made differently and has to be sterile to be packaged, so yes, it's going to smell and taste different.

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

    Not with Gerber, but Similac.  Little guy hates the premixed version.

    Thankfully DD does well on either.  If your guy will only use the powder, I would prefill bottles at night with water then I pre-scoop the formula into the 3 compartments in the round containers with the spout.  At night I just dump the pre-measured into the water and voila.  It is pretty easy.  HTH

    What's this container you're talking about?  Sounds super handy.

    I think he doens't like the pre-mixed bottles.  DH tried to give it to him tonight while I was out, and it was a no-go.  that's okay.  We'll just stick to the powder as we transition... I don't want to force something on him that he doesn't like (especially if it is loaded with preservatives, yuck, I don't even like to eat that stuff myself).
