Vanilla Frappe anyone?

As a new age Dad, I thought getting Tri used to some of the finer things in life was important. Waking up in the middle of the night, listening to him scream for his bottle, I would, in my sleepy daze, try to make his bottle as quickly as possible. In order to dissolve the formula, it's necessary to shake the bottle. When in a hurry, I'd shake that thing up so fast in every direction, that the result was somewhat of a milk vanilla frappe, with about half the bottle a thick froth sitting at the top. Well, three feedings in a row, he would down the bottle and then about 4 minutes later, up the whole bottle would come! Virginia was sure I was doing something wrong, while I was sure he had some sort of a bug!
Well, you will not be surprised to learn that Virginia was correct! Apparently our little Tri is a more down to earth kind of guy! He has no need for those expensive sorts of drinks, and instead he's happy to stick with a plain old bottle!
No news on Cai, other than that Virginia thinks that she is looking stronger!

  1. Hey Guys..Ginny is right. When you shake the bottle and get too much air in there, they not only can throw it back up, but also get very painful gas as the air passes through their bellies. :( I make a day's worth of bottles ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Or get a big glass measuring cup: you can put saran wrap on it and store that in the fridge with formula ready to go too. It's good in the fridge for 24 hours if you use powder, or 48 hours if you use the liquid concentrate or ready-to-feed).

    Bet you never thought we'd be having this conversation eh?!!!

  2. You are right Nat, in all the years past, we've never really had this as a topic of conversation. :)
    Thanks for the advice. I've not heard of the liquid concentrate. I haven't seen it here, it may not be available in Asia.
