Fill with water to the line, add the scoops, then shake the shit out of it. Never had a problem :P </p> <p>I didn't mix milks, though. I wanted to keep them separate in case it got wasted </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supplementing-newb#post-1233991 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:18:50 +0000 BlueWolverine 1233991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. We mix with tap.<br /> 2. We also added mixed formula to BM and swirl.<br /> 3. Baby A always finishes, so we haven't really dealt with this. I would probably go with the one hour rule, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supplementing-newb#post-1233947 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:07:15 +0000 DillonLion 1233947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. We use nursery water<br /> 2. I add mixed formula to breastmilk<br /> 3. I mix conservatively sized bottles that i make sure she finushes. if she needs more, i mix up just straight formula so no bm is wasted </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supplementing-newb#post-1233931 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:01:34 +0000 pl0508 1233931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has had three bottles of formula mixed with breastmilk since yesterday and all is well, so far! Right now I am using the premixed similac alimentum but it will be "bad" by tomorrow so I picked up some powder. I have a few questions!</p> <p>1. Is it okay to mix with tap?<br /> 2. should I just mix the formula/water in a bottle then pour my milk on top (while we continue to mix?)<br /> 3. If I don't heat his bottles (he takes them cool) is it okay to re offer after the 1 hr window has passed? We are used to the "room temp for 6 hrs" breastmilk rule so this will be a bit of a change! He typically finishes his bottle at once but every now and then he just snacks! </p> <p>I'm sure I will have more! TIA! </p>
