Perfect prep or ready made formula ?

Going to be combi feeding probably 1-2 formula feeds a day

Not sure whether to get ready made formula or a perfect prep and powder ?
Obviously the initial outlay for a pp plus powder would be more but going forward it’s cheaper
However......
Up to approx 12-14 months my babies have only had 2 ozs occasionally 3oz when having a bottle of formula so even though ready made us more expensive it might actually work out ok for us ?
I’m not sure what to do

I would say ready made formula. It is so transportable and easy to use when you are out and about.

I would say a perfect prep. And premade. Premade is a godsend when you’re out and about but is expensive to be having twice a day. 14times a week at 80p per bottle. You would be able to get some resale for a perfect prep.

Ready made I reckon. I think with powder you are meant to discard it a certain number of days/weeks after opening the box so you might find you end up wasting powder.

I did both. Ready made out and about, pp in house. I got that second hand off Facebook, came with two filters unused. Gave it a clean cycle and it's been fab.

I’ll have to check how long the formula tubs are ok open for I vaguely remember it was a month but I’ll check
Previously just used the kettle but want something a bit easier this time just not sure which option is better and more cost effective as it seems a lot to pay out in one lot for a pp but all I see is great reviews get ready made is even quicker and as none of my dc have drink big amounts while combi feeding it may not be too expensive 🤔
