I currently use Enfamil Lipil powder but a friend of ours was able to get us 2 cases of ready to use for free. Will this hurt my ds belly if I start giving it to him?

Thanks for youe help! :wave:

No it shouldn't. I use both powder and already made formula and never had problem with my son. I guess if it's just the same kind as your baby has been using, I wouldn't worry. If you notice anything different when you ds start using it..I'd stop but you shouldn't have problem!

I agree - with MJ you shouldn't have a problem at all - as long as its the same kind of formula

DS is on the same formula and we switch back and forth all the time between powder and ready-to-use. As a newborn I noticed he had looser bowel movements with the powder but for the rest he was fine.

my first born couldnt tolerate the poweder and would get sick, so we always used concentrate, I think its best..IMO

that's weird because mine can't tolerate the concentrate. Totally destroyed his stomach so I have to stick with powder. I really am not a fan of the powder either because sometimes it's so hard to get it mixed up.

My fil told me (bc he's such an expert you know) that you should never mix them bc the baby will get diaherria and a bad stomach ache. Um..he was never around for his son when he was a baby -- so he has no idea. But as I said before -- it's okay!

It depends on the baby I guess. Ds has always had concentrate. We tried to switch him to the powdered stuff of the same kind and he totally got constipated. They think Ds is pretty sensitive to changes though.

My baby refuses to eat the liquid..only will eat the powder...she screams her head off even though its the SAME formula!!
