Another question about supplementing with formula
I exclusively pump for my 4.5 month old DD. She drinks 30 oz. per day. Lately I come up short by 1-2 oz on some days and on those days I'll just add 1-2 oz of Enfamil Infant formula to her last bottle. Some days I have enough. Problem is, since I don't need much, I end up having a lot of formula go to waste since the powder is only good 30 days from the time it is opened and the 8 oz RTF bottles go bad after 24 hours even in the fridge. Anyone have a suggestion for formula packaged in some way that it won't go bad before I use it all?

Why don't you use the 2oz RTF Similac bottles? If you're only coming up an oz or 2 short, it should work out perfectly for you. Nothing to waste :)

Re: Another question about supplementing with formula
i have the same issue - and i honestly use the powder for longer than one month (sometimes 6 weeks and possibly even 8 weeks). when it went bad i was able to tell.
but enfamil does sell small powder pouches (i believe its in 4 ounce packages) they also sell the 2 ounce nursettes

THANKS!! The 2 oz nursettes look perfect. I had them when she was taking newborn formula but I didn't realize they made the infant in the nursette size.
