can you give me the 411 on formula plz
i never used it for my older ds and i'm a bit clueless now. i mainly bf but give about 2 oz. of formula a day b/c of low supply.
what do i need to know about formula?
how long cani keep it opened in the fridge?
can i save left over formula in a bottle that he drank from?
i have the similac in those 2 oz. bottles (like they give you in the hospital), is it better to feed my ds with that bottle or use my playtex drop in bottles?
thanks!!!

The first question is REALLY broad....
With a NB, I wouldn't keep a left over formula that he drank from.
It is fine to use those little bottles, I don't think it is necessary to make more work and pour them into playtex drop ins....

I never reused formula after they drank from it.
A can can of powder is 1 month open and a RTF Bottle is 72 hrs.
I used the RTF 2 oz bottles from the beg but it started to give her a lot of gas so I switched to the drop ins. They also gave her gas so then I switched to Dr. Browns

I use RTF Formula
Once you open it it stays good in fridge for 72 hrs
Once I heat a bottle I give it to DS within one hour
