i but my baby of formula 3 weeks ago. well my grandma went out and got my baby some formula (there isnt a good relationship between us and shes trying to get on my good side after alot of the bad things she has done, which is lame because i dont treat her like dirt or anything) anyways, i started useing this formula that she gave me for my daughter but i found that it doesnt mix well, i am using the amount that it says but it still leaves chuncks... the brand is nestle good start, its the supreme with iron... has anyone had this happen before?

That would happen if i was in a rush and just dumped the whole scoop in the bottle. Shake the scoop so that the formula doesnt go in all at once and shake the bottle really really well. I know they also sell formula mixers at Target and Babies r us, but i have never tried them.

i used that with my son and worked great! make sure u warm the water before u try to mix it. it mixes better in warm water. also put the nipple on and give it a good shake. its not going to mix perfectly, but they also make a liquid formula too in a can and u make it in a pitcher. u just poor the can in and a can of water and thats it. hope some of these suggestions have u helped u out a little. good luck and congrats!

I have six children and when I had them on formula , I used an egg whisk. I used cold boiled water and whisked it in a separate jug. I used to make up about 4 bottles at a time and left it all in a sealed and airtight jug or large container in the fridge.. I hope this helps..

It happens with heavy formulas, and Good Start is heavy, but the same thing happens with Enfamil Gentlease, for the same reason.The best thing you can do is use warm water when mixing, and shake the bottle during feeding as well....

make sure the water is warm (not hot) and put the nipple on cover it and shake until the chunks are gone
dont leave it out more than an hour and dont refridgerate more than 4 hrs
make sure to warm it in the nuker without the top for 10-30 seconds before serving from the fridge
always check it on your wrist if it's hot wait

okay i totally know what you mean. well if your baby doesnt need iron you should try to ween your baby off of it by mixing formulas gradually. but nestle is clumpy, similac works the best,thats what i recommend

it happens, boil the water then mix, if you need to make a few like this, put them in the fridge, then just warm them.
