Litre bottles of readytodrink formula!

[ComeonComeon]

I can't believe I didn't know these were now available! I need to work out how much more they cost than faffing with mixing up powder and hot watet, but omg at bloody last.

formula companies! Finally they are taking responsibility for manufacturing a sterile and safe product rather than making parents deal with the stress and difficulty of making sure milk is made up safely.

Now, DS almost 8mo is shifting from 5 bottles a day to 4 of about 250ml each so these will be perfect. I assume they need to be ditched after 24hrs like the little cartons.

Sounds good.

Crushed vitamin pill (leftover Pregnacare will do)
Liquidised turkey twizzler
Chicken nugget
Lucozade to desired quantity

Maybe add some spit for the authentic mother taste?

Good tip about the pregnacare Hoopy!

Yum yum might whip some up tonight!

at Tango

Don't forget the Fruit Shoots ladies....

Nah thats too much faffing about, just use a fruit shoot with a berocca in it

The added bonus is that you don't have to bother with washing the bottles!

Lol at Berocca!

So can you use that from birth them? :o

Berocca & red bull for uppers, vodka and boiled bones for night time.

Red bull? Are you mad? Thats asking for trouble

''So can you use that from birth them''

No gulcose in them so yeah, should be fine

ROFL at the above :) :) :)

Very ironic, considering formula was invented for the precise problem that mothers who struggled to breastfeed in the past would make up their own homemade milk substitutes, a practice known as dry nursing (as opposed to wet nursing).

They would throw all kinds of stuff in there and not using the most sanitary methods - usually some mix of cow's milk, flour, water and sugar (great!). The milk was often sour or rancid because of poor food preservation technology so dry nursing led to high infant mortality. That's why when Justus von Liebig came up with the first patented infant formula in 1865, he put it in powdered form to make it easier to stay fresh and transport.

He'd be spinning in his grave if he knew people were going back to making up their own daft milk substitutes at home when there is safe, sterile formula available...
Info here on the history of formula if anyone's interested!

Way to hijack the thread by the way, 1789, with utterly useless, patronising 'advice'. No-one who has ever formula fed their baby will ever have read the ingredients on a box of formula or ever have thought about or tried breastfeeding. You're the first person to ever suggest that bf might be a better choice.

It's totally new information that bf is considered healthier and that formula is artificial. No-one on this thread has ever, ever heard that before so thanks for sharing the public health message that no-one has ever, ever heard before. Ever.

Thats a great link NapaCab

napa we are just shocking aren't we?? How could we feed our babies this utter crap!?

May as well liquidise McDonald's and stuff it down our babies necks.

Well 1789's DC will obviously be far, far healthier than my little poisoned, ff runts, but they might be rather narrow minded.

I know, Tango! That's formula feeding parents for you though! Just grabbing any old junk off the supermarket shelf - Red Bull, Pepsi, Baileys, whatever - and pour it down baby's neck, preferably with a propped up bottle while he's strapped into his stroller (oh the horror...)

Oh yes I did find it handy propping the bottle up in the pram, meant I had one hand free to have a benson and hedges menthol my favourite :o

Shocking!!!

I didn't bother reading the labels I though fuck it, I'm not paying a tenner a carton when he can have some red bull.

pickles I didn't give the money for red bull just went for asda's own I think it's called 'charged' DD loves it with a greggs sausage roll especially before bed.

Ooo cheers for the tip! I give him a sausage roll to take to bed, get a better nights kip then.

I give him a six pack on the weekend do I can get me a lie in!

Well at least we are not giving them poison ridden formula
