Or anyone else who is using formula...

Have you noticed any specific brands of formula that make the little 4 oz individual powder packets that are so easy to throw into the diaper bag? I know Enfamil used to have them and I loved them! Now I dont see them anywhere??

Yeah, Similac (and Isomil) Advance and Enfamil (and whatever their soy variety is) are at Target. I love them, too. Those weren't around when A&K were infants.

Yeah - in fact I have a sample of similac advance w/ iron (6 packets) and a small can- if anyone wants these I can send them to you. Marin is on lacto free Enfamil I hate letting this stuff go to waste.

The only brand I can find that makes the packets is Similac. I use Good Start normally and wish that I could get the packets with Good Start, but I do keep a few of the Similac packets in the diaper bag for emergencies. It's a great invention!

Annie if you can't find those, a bunch of my friends use this little plastic tupperware container that looks like a pie chart. It has sections for you to measure the formula and then the top spins around and you just dump each triangle out as needed. Pretty neat!

Works quite well with the Podee I might add Wink

The Munchkin Formula Holder rocks! I used it when ds was a baby. It's so much cheaper than the packets to carry your own, and if your little one is on a special formula (like mine was) you can't get the individual packets.

Thank you for the formula holder recommendation. I was beginning to run out of Similac packets, and would rather just give DS Good Start anyway.
I got one of these right away and it is awesome! And will be WAY cheaper than buying packets.
