Has anyone tried to use it to supplement with formula? Does it work well or is the formula too thick for the tubing?

We used it for formula just fine both Gentlease and Nutrimigen. Of note I didn't try it with the thicker AR formula which has rice starch for acid reflux. It works okay but it is easier just to by the interlock tube and a syringe as we were given at the hospital by the NICU nurses. We found that because our baby was used to the flow of that syringe and it was easier to control---this was too slow and hard to adjust in terms of flow. We only used it a few times before going back to the old system were I tapes the tubing from a syringe to my breast.

I only used formula with it. It always worked fine. After about 3 or 4 weeks it is time for a new one. But it is intended for a one time use, so 3 or 4 weeks of use is not too bad. My baby used it all the entire time she was breastfeeding.

The formula flowed well through the tubing. I didn't have any problems with the SNS system and formula. Hope this helps!

This formula was sent as a gift because the ingredients milk solids, rice, etc., helped to sooth an infant who was not digesting other well known brands well. The Pediatrician recommended the mom try several different formulas, each for one week. This on has been working well for several months.

Honestly, I think this product works for a majority of the customers, but obviously there is a handful that don't respond to the formula. I personally was able to gain over an inch in 6 weeks, but not every supplement is for everyone. The good thing is, if it doesn't work for you, they gladly issue you a full refund.

Formula can be used with this bottle set. The bottle is made to mimic breast feeding naturally. It is not gravity fed like most bottles. The baby must suck to express milk like the breast. It greatly helps with decreasing air while feeding. If you are going to formula feed with this bottle make sure the formula is mixed well then poured into the bottle. Good luck and enjoy.

The formula is for babies who are breastfeeding as well as supplementing with formula. It is not for the mother.

I have never used it for something so thick, but I would try it. You may have to pound on the bottom of the container to help it along. I sure like this funnel. I would be lost without it!

I see someone else answered. Its not quite as thick and plump as it appears in the picture. I was disappointed when I opened it. But once I used it I love it. I have a six month old that was just to confined in her baby bath tub and to difficult to wash her anymore. This I put in the tub she loves it and I do too. Keeps her in place not sliding all over the tub just feels much more safe.

I used in formula once per day. So for that bottle that I would add it to, I would first warm the formula, just not as much as normal, just enough to take the chill off. Then I would add the powder to the formula. I would assume it didn't kill the probiotic because it made a huge difference for our little guy using it this way.

I'm not a conditioner user so can't answer that Holly. Company did recommend "thinning" something if you have trouble getting it to pump. No first hand experience though.

I am sure it is a good product, but I haven't notice any results in the month of taking the formula. Perhaps, I need to take it for a longer period of time. It is expensive and probably won't buy it in the future.

Funny you should ask. I just tried that last week. It worked very well. I would advise pouring it slowly, but it worked well. The funnel part is not huge so pour slowly. The flexible tube did a nice job holding the funnel up. Just pour slowly

I use Earths Best formula and can fit 4 scoops of powder for an 8oz bottle. There is also still a little room for possibly one or two more scoops. These are great for traveling or just filling to save time.

You can add it to food or formula (probably not too hot since that might deactivate the active ingredients); I feed it to my baby directly by dropping it on my fingertip!

Biotrue works pretty well for me. I bought a small 5 oz bottle to try it out and it's been about a week. No issues. Ymmv

I am unsure if it is ok for tube tiresI do know they make the same formula for bicycles and they are tube. I suggest looking on Slimes website and contacting them directly

The contents of my first tube became thick after about a year and didn't seem to work. I purchased another tube and it worked great. It does seem to dry up after a while. R. MacMahon

Hi Paul. Over the past years I have purchased three of these 32oz pump bottles of BioFreeze. One I had almost three years and it started getting thick. It is a gel so I just added water and gave it a good shake. Worked perfectly and did not loose any of it's ability to take away the pain. I hope this helps. Kathryn
