Customer Reviews of Enfamil A.R. Infant Formula Powder, Iron Fortified, 12.9-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 6)Customer Review: Worth the effort Summary: 5 Stars
My son has very bad reflux and this formula helps. We actually have to add a little rice to it. (even though this has rice starch in it) He can hold this mixture down better than he can any other formula (or breast milk)
Anyway. I agree that this formula is a CHORE to mix up. Before you cry foul and claim that it's not worth the effort, keep in mind that our child was throwing up so much that he gained ZERO weight for the month of Feb.
We had to cut down breast milk and supplement with Enfamil AR. With that said, here is how we make the clump free mixture:
1. Microwave water in coffee cup for 15-30 seconds. (warm, not hot)
2. Pour water in shaker, add formula and a little rice.
3. Shake this stuff as hard as you can for about 30 seconds.
4. Pour in Bottle.
I've done this for the last few weeks and I have no clumps what so ever. If you shake this up in the bottle, then YES you will have a nightmare of clumps to deal with. (we even use Dr. Brown AND Born Free bottles)
The problem is that the formula starts to bond as soon as it touches water. So you have to shake hard and fast to beat the clumping. If you shake it slowly, then the clumps start up and are VERY difficult to get out.
When traveling, I have two shakers with me. (just in case I'm out longer than planned) Again.... shaking Enfamil AR in a bottle can lead to great frustration. My son has gained 4 oz in two weeks (getting weight checked again this week... crossing fingers), so I must recommend this product despite the difficulty in preparing.
I again freely admit that mixing this formula is difficult. It is very prone to clumping. It can be slimy like another reviewer has said. If you have clumps stuck in your nipple, then your baby can become frustrated. It is an absolute hassle to mix in public. However, if you have a baby that is not gaining weight or holding down their food... and you have had this formula recommended by a dr. (4 recommended this to us), then it may be a viable option for you.
I will gladly help anyone who has questions for me about this. (i'm not sure how/if Amazon will notify me, but i would love to help)
