Either or really. My girls wouldn't take powder, whereas my nephew won't take liquid.

Liquid. When the powder turns into the liquid that process leaves gas bubbles in the baby's stomach. You want to get liquid!!!! And if you are having trouble with the baby having gas pains or you dont know why the little one cries so much, try switching to soy , sometimes the dairy is too much for the babies stomach

At first with my son (6 mos) I used powder, it was much better bc i could carry the powder anywhere and like the other person said water can be found ANYWHERE...but now he is on liquid- granted he doesnt drink as much formula as he used to but i use the liquid now..I like both though...u just have to try and see which one would be more convienet for you...
i spelled that word wrong lol sorry

personally i do believe that powdered formula is better for a infant/child because it last longer but it is excactly the same as the liquid stuff just in a different form i have tried my son on a few different formulas and he didn't take to well to the liquid he seem to take more to the powdered formula so that would be my preference.

They're the same as far as nutritional value goes. I use powder because I find it to be WAY more convenient and a whole lot cheaper too. You also end up wasting less with powder.

Liquid is better for your baby. It goes down easier than powder.

There is a difference once you mix the powder w/fluoridated water. You have to weigh the benefits of fluoride for enamel development and the risks of possible dental fluorisis (depending on the amount of fluoride in the infants diet).

I started my daughter on powder then switched to liquid. They are the same except for liquid being more concentrated.

Nutritionally they are the same. I've found powder to be more convenient as it is easier to transport. Water can be found just about anywhere, and you can bring lots of powder vs. the inconvenience of carrying a bunch of full bottles.

I'm not real sure but I do know liquid does not last as long as powdered does once you refrigerate or keep any left over.

I've used both, and they've worked the same for my sons. I just think the powder is more convienient, and it's cheaper too. I say go with whatever you think, and if you still have trouble choosing ask the baby's doctor.
