[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what kind of formula are you feeding him? A lot of formulas have bad ingredients in them ( corn syrup, sugars etc.). What is your size, are you overweight or your spouse? [/quote]

OP here. He eats Enfamil NeuroPro RTF. We can switch if there is a better formula. We went with it because it was RTF and he liked it.

That formula is not very good. Maybe try a healthier option? Why can’t you breastfeed more so you don’t have to rely on formula? Maybe he is gaining too fast because he is on formula? Try feeding only breast milk and see if that helps. [/quote]

The formula is fine. You can switch to powdered formula now OP. It’s significantly cheaper and the risk of powder is at there now that he is no longer a newborn. [/quote]

OP here. The expense isn’t an issue. I prefer RTF over powered. A friend gave us some packets she didn’t need and I didn’t like it. I felt like it was messy and the powder never fully dissolved no matter how much we stirred it or shook the bottle. My son eats room temp and it’s much easier to just dump the liquid in a bottle and feed. [/quote]

You have to boil the water and let the powder sit. You’re wasting your money. [/quote]

She isn't asking your opinion on how to mix powdered formula.  She doesn't even use it. Go away. [/quote]
