did anyone else's formula powder go off in heat?

So...

DS aged 15 months has a bottle in his cot before sleep.

Tonight, I give him the bottle. He starts crying and hands it back. This is very unusual behaviour. So I sniff the milk and think to myself 'well I made this at least 30 mins ago and it's v hot weather, maybe it went off'.

I run downstairs, DS still crying, open a new pack of Aptamil and bring him another bottle. He does the same thing a second time.

I go back downstairs, get cow's milk from the fridge, sniffing the new formula box en route (seems to smell not quite right, definitely).

DS drinks the cow's milk fine.

Later I test the other two boxes of unopened formula I have sat in the kitchen - they both also smell odd.

I've chucked 3 and a half boxes of formula in the bin (ie 25 quid's worth, ha).

Did anyone else have this experience over the last week, with the hot weather - or is it just me!

i am pretty sure powdered milk doesn't go off in heat.... maybe it was a dodgy batch? or maybe your paranoia got the better of you? maybe ds just decided he prefers cow's milk

(in fact, why are you still buying formula???)

Why am I still buying formula?

Er ... don't know really.

It's all in the bin now anyway, so maybe this is the moment to say goodbye to it!

I think you should take it back to the shop or if you have no receipt e-mail the manufacturer. If there is a potential problem then it should be highlighted.

Hope all is well with your ds

agree with onepiece, take it back to the shop just in case there is a problem with it. or contact aptamil and let them know

and yes, if ds is happy with cows milk then give him that, much cheaper

Yes the DS is completely fine, he only took one tiny sip!

Right, I will take it back (and maybe will post here what happens next!).
