How long does a tin of formula last?
(20 Posts)
I know information technology'southward like asking how long is a piece of cord simply I'm trying to upkeep and work out approximately how much DD will cost per week when she arrives in 9 weeks.
I've decided to FF and have been looking at the formula simply none say how many 'servings' there are in each tin and wondered of anyone could give me a rough estimate?
Also volition I need to have bottles and formula in my hospital bag or practise they provide them?
If I remember correctly five-7 days. I breasted at first so not sure, but I believe our local hospital provided formula and disposable bottles.
Almost 5 days if on full feeds ie 3mths +
As for your hospital every one is unlike so I would phone the maternity ward or ask your midwife what commonly happens.
I worked information technology out when I switched to canteen feeding around iv months (wanted to know how often to order it with online shopping) I can't remember now but on waitrose online shopping it said how big i scoop was, can calculate how many scoops were in the tub from there. Apparently some babies are hungrier than others, but I then looked at the side of the tub to see how many oz per 24-hour interval were boilerplate for a babe DS's weight and age, ane scoop makes ane oz of formula so I had a fairly good idea how long it would last.
Different hospitals take dissimilar policies on taking bottles in, check with your midwife or labour ward what they exercise there 
It does say on the tins the age of the baby then xoz, x many feeds in 24hrs so if your baby does what it says on the can then information technology should be fairly easy to work out assuming they say how many scoops are in the tin.
DD is almost 5 then it's getting difficult to retrieve, I also expressed what I could and she fed every 60 minutes! Just a large tin wouldn't concluding a week and so maybe five days and the smaller tins prob 3 at the most.
I use aptamil, I become about 5/6 days per tin can. My ds is on 6oz bottles now.
I practice have to say that on the side of the can it does tell you how many bottles a baby should take in 24 hours. But it'southward a guide. If your baby does this then great for y'all but my ds has never followed this.
He's meant to take 5x6oz bottles a twenty-four hours. Some days he simply takes the 30oz simply others he takes more. Way more than. When you lot observe the right i for your baby I'd buy another tin when you lot've got the greenbacks so you have a few spare. I recommend this.
Oh btw my ds is sixteen weeks today.
Oh and I've been to scared to inquire the midwife near formula whilst in hospital equally I don't want to have the chest feeding lecture (I am planning to express when I get home as I did the starting time fourth dimension) I've bought some ready to use bottles and put them in my bag just in instance they don't provide them.

Don't exist scared. I felt the aforementioned merely once I decided I was Ff I refused to listen to anyone. My community me tried to talk me into it just I only told her not to waste her time as she wasn't irresolute my mind.
When in hospital after ds was born I felt no pressure level from anyone. The mw asked I said Ff that was cease of discussion.
my 19week sometime baby is on 6 oz bottles and hes hungry every 2 hour plus hes on hungrier infant milk! i use cow and gat and i tub lasts me iv-5 days, not everybody follows what it says on tub theres only yous that knows your iwn babe
Did they bring you lot botlles or did you lot have to keep asking for them? I was in for 3days with DD as she wouldn't latch on to feed so I asked for a bottle in the end which was met with a lecture but I only wanted to get home, simply by the time my DM came to choice usa up it was nearly 4hrs after but at that place was no sign of another bottle
I had to get and get them. Every time he needed fed I had to wander upwards to the nursery and get a bottle. Oh and I was only immune one bottle at a fourth dimension but others had four-5 at their beds.
I seem to recollect it being about a tin can a week for ds.
Thank you everyone, not every bit bad every bit I thought, I was thinking 2-3 tins a week!
penguin I've been a bit worried besides about the pressure to bf when I really don't want to just will aqueduct my stubborn side! I'k already getting pestered each time at my mw appointments virtually attention the bf classes.
Hospitals practise differ just most y'all volition need to bring bottles and Milk and they will sterilise them for you. They only otherwise provide them if you find you are not getting on with bf though they won't let any baby starve! Don't know near tins is if virtually one a calendar week? From advice of friends who ff don't majority but tins as though they take a shelf life y'all don't know what you'd infant will get along best with.
I expressed with my dd when I went back to piece of work but went back later with ds and he would commonly accept z feed mid afternoon. I didn't take a clue and asked my lively childminder what I needed and which brand of milk to go for but was shocked at thd cost of it! I did try giving him a bottle earlier bed sometimes then as well to try to assistance him sleep through the dark just goose egg worked. The first time he ever slept through was the twenty-four hour period I stopped bf him at 2 
I decided from the get go that I didn't want to BF my DS and made it articulate that I didn't want support to effort. I never felt pressured and in fact the simply person I always came across who was bothered was my HV who when asked if it was okay to make feeds up in accelerate, replied with "you know that babies are built to BF and in Africa feeds are always bachelor as they just wear them on their fronts" 
I am 31 Weeks with DC2 and have decided to requite BF a go this time and have requested a different HV 
A can of formula lasted us a week for the first 12 Weeks (based on maximum of 4 scoops, 6x p/day) then around 5 days afterwards equally y'all need to use more scoops only anybody will be different.
Contact your maternity unit nigh provision of formula, ours gave little glass bottles of gear up made stuff
Dogsmom just be believing. Your best to just say I'm ff my babe, and don't listen to anyone. Just calmly decline all offers about bf classes and stand your basis.
What infirmary are you going to?
I formula fed and they had the small glass set up made bottles, I'd also taken the aforementioned ones in and they specifically told me not to use them and just to employ the ones provided.
They gave me a few when I left too!
I think between 4 and vi days per can with my DD.
I'yard going to the Queens Hospital in Burton.
