We're using around 6 ounces a day. So I'll probably just stock up on some 8 oz bottles. Now I just have to figure out what kind of formula to feed! I think she might have MSPI so that kind of narrows our choices down quite a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/powder-or-liquid-formula#post-548929 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:26:37 +0000 MsLipGloss 548929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Banana: The liquid lasts 48 hours refrigerated; 1 hour unrefrigerated. The liquid is sold in several quantities, i.e., 2 oz bottles, 8 oz bottles, and larger. We have 2 cases of the 8 oz bottles which works well for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/powder-or-liquid-formula#post-548928 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:26:03 +0000 DisneyBee 548928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when my son was on formula, we used mostly powder since it's cheaper. but when he was a newborn, we used liquid since it came in 2 oz bottles and we received many samples from the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/powder-or-liquid-formula#post-548924 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:24:07 +0000 banana 548924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: We're giving her 4 oz of breastmilk mixed with 2 oz of formula. How long does liquid last once opened? I've never used formula before so I'm new to all of this. =\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/powder-or-liquid-formula#post-548919 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:21:29 +0000 yoursilverlining 548919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many ounces will you be giving on a daily basis? The liquid doesn't last very long once it is opened; so thats one thing to keep in mind.</p> <p>We feed powder and occassionally the liquid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/powder-or-liquid-formula#post-548914 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:18:51 +0000 MsLipGloss 548914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We supplement with the pre-mixed liquid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/powder-or-liquid-formula#post-548910 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:17:08 +0000 BananaPancakes 548910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we could use powder, but my son is on Alimentum and the powder has corn in it. So we use the liquid, which is corn free. It is so expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/powder-or-liquid-formula#post-548876 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:04:39 +0000 BelugaBean 548876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use powdered formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/powder-or-liquid-formula#post-548875 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:04:29 +0000 autumnlove 548875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used powder. I mixed batches up in my Dr. Brown's Formula pitcher! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/powder-or-liquid-formula#post-548870 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:02:48 +0000 banana 548870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I may need to start supplementing with a little bit of formula during the day. I'm debating whether to go with power formula or liquid (pre-mixed).</p> <p>What kind of formula did you feed your LO? </p>
