    I also use powder formula and have used the already mixed formula a couple times. I have noticed that he spit up a little more than usual but my LO was fine.

    We use both. I use the liquid when we are out doing errands. Like the pp said, he does spit up a little. However, the liquids are thicker and my little guy takes a longer nap
    We do this too, it was too much effort to take mixed up powder formula with us on the go and trying to keep it cool long enough, so when we're running around we use the liquid and when we're at home we use the powder.  My son doesn't seem to have any issues switching between the two (he rarely spits up, guess we're lucky).  We use the same kind though - Enfamil Gentlease.

    As long as it's the same kind, it shouldn't be a problem. I read that premade formula is slightly creamier and actually better tasting so you should be fine.

    I think you'll be fine.  We were using the ready to feed bottles for when we were out.  Then we realized DS didn't want the powder mix, only the RTF bottles.  So now that's all we give him.  Thank goodness for the formula checks!

    @MesRKJ kinda off subject but how often do you get formula checks? I haven't gotten any in awhile and for like 2 months I was getting them every couple weeks.
