You know I am new to this whole formula thing. And bottles.... WHEN did they make so many choices?!?!?! There are nipple sizes? HA new to me!
And a side note. Formula STINKS! And no baby poop yet. But from what I have read it seems that formula babies are not as 'regular' as breastfed babes.
About Me

- Here I am now... The mother of 4 wonderful boys, present and former foster mom to seven boys!! True at times there is an overload of testosterone and fart humor...but I muddle through well enough hehe. I am spoiled too, there is no lack of gentlemen opening doors, car doors etc... of course that balances out with no lack of bad aim in the bathroom! The news that shocked the world....? We are expecting a baby girl in March 2008!! I am a stay at home mom. I work more now than I did when I held a "real" job. Hubby is in the Navy. I cannot convey how proud I am of him. He is truly the man of my dreams and a better husband than I ever thought I deserved. Well that is the general overview of me ;) enjoy the blog. Don't know something? want to know? ASK. I love comments to my ramblings too.

Hi there :) Just visiting; was pointed your way through reading BaggageandBug! We're also considering becoming foster parents so it's wonderful to be able to read about your journey! Thank you for sharing :)
Hate to tell you that it's just the opposite! Formula babies usually poop a LOT more than breastfed babies and the poop isn't as pleasant, if any poop can be said to be pleasant.
Why in the world wasn't his schedule sent along? How are you supposed to know what he likes, doesn't like, what nipples and formula to use??? (Most kids get used to a particular shape and have difficult with anything else.)
Good luck, by the way!!!!!
Constipation is more common, in our experience, in formula-fed babies. You can replace about 1/4 of the water with apple juice and then mix the formula in that. The extra sugar will get things moving, so to speak. a lot of doctors suggest some Karo syrup, but that just seems gross to me!
Congrats on the new placement - babies are great. :)
