Enfamil powder vs ready to feed

I feed the exact same (Enfamil A+) and did the exact same (moved from ready to feed to powder)😊 baby transitioned very easily to powder and I just offered the powder formula bottle as I normally did the ready to feed, didn’t do a slow switch over or anything. I do find it tastes a bit different, I don’t know if that has to do with our water or whatever the ready to feed is made with. Baby didn’t seem to pick up on the difference 😊

@Julieann hey! Thank you for the details, did you find any difference in taste. Powder tasted more fishy to me 🥴

Yep used it to Gideon for 1 month no difference

Hi I’m currently on my first tub of enfamil powder right now and I’d say everything is normal with my baby when it comes to pooping & feeding. And as soon as we ran out of ready to feed, I did use powder right away. I didn’t alternate or mix! But it still depends with your baby since mine is fine with switching formulas too. Hope this helps!

@Desirée oh I see thank you. I thought my baby would pickup that taste and reject it, I haven’t tried it on my baby, lets see if he likes it.

I’m currently using Enfamil A+DHA plus

I started out with the powder and switched to the concentrated kind (where you add water) I know what you mean, the powder kind does seem to have a different smell to it. I like the liquid kind though, because then you don't have to worry about shaking the bottle like crazy to make sure there is no powder left. And then that creates bubbles in the bottle

Hi, when is the best time to transition from ready to feed to powder? My LO is 7 weeks old and thinking to transition at 9 weeks

@Brinda I was told by a lactation consultants that you can do powder right from the beginning unless your LO is immunocomprimised or premature - apparently the ready-to-feed to a certain age is old info

We tried giving our daughter enfamil ready to feed mixed with the powder (under advisement from a dietician, she's a preemie so she needs a lot of extra calories to catch up) and we found that Enfamil smells the worst and stains the worst. The smell is kinda wheat-y and fishy, the stains from her spit ups are an orangey-brown. We ended up going with GoodStart, it doesn't smell as bad and doesn't stain nearly as horrendously
