 ? on carrying formula around-playtex drop in 
when you're out with DC, do you make the formula first at home or do you make it as needed?  i brought the drop in playtex and it was suggested not to mix the formula in the liner.  just wondering how you girls do it without carrying a million bottles with you.
  TIA

One of these
    And a bottle of water and then you can mix in the liner.

 Re: ? on carrying formula around-playtex drop in 
I have Cadens bottles down to a science...1 scoop of Regular Formula, 2.5 scoops Gentease Formula, 2 Tablespoons Rice Cereal all go into the liner...I then carry the water with me. When he needs to eat I fill the bottle with water, put on the top, and shake, occassionally poking the bottom to release the powder, once mixed I top of the bottle with water and turn back and forth to incorporate the extra water...It works out perfectly and the measurements are perfect.

 Re: ? on carrying formula around-playtex drop in 
Ok, do you mean by having the formula in the liner THEN adding the water because the measurments could be off?
  That is the only reason why I could think you shouldn't mix in the liner.
  I always do water first, then formula.

  i read it somewhere not to mix in the liner but yes, i was afraid the water measurement might be off.  now it makes sense - to measure the water first!  thanks!

 Re: ? on carrying formula around-playtex drop in 
I have those powder container things, but I always find it easier to put the powder in the liner and just add water later - when he wanted the bottle.
  I have never been that accurate with the measurements - but he has not had any problem!

 Re: ? on carrying formula around-playtex drop in 
I don't know how you ladies deal with mixing the formula...I'm sticking to the RTF...I buy the 8 oz. and the 32 oz. bottles.
