Formula 101

After making dozens of bottles a day and dealing with our son's acid reflux I decided to use a blender to help make it easier, like batch cooking but this milk batch only last about 24 hours. Myself like many moms wander through the formula aisle dreading the cost of formula that we all know only last about 2-3 days but we are ALWAYS willing to buy it so our babies are well nourished. After meeting a complete stranger in the formula aisle who asked me how many bottles I got out of a canister of formula I said.. "I don't really know but the canister says 15?"Because it is so expensive this conversation prompted me to do a little experiment to see if I really am getting my monies worth. So I kept track of how many bottles I made with a tally mark on the lid to help me see the difference. I found that when using the blender I can get an extra bottle or even two out of a canister or jumbo canister. Now that does NOT sound like that much of a difference but when you are spending $25.00 every two-three days or so one extra bottle can make a difference!
