It is for a underweight children aged 1 to 3.Can I make milk shakes out of baby's formula milk powder?
Why don't you just use Pediasure? Why use baby formula if the child is 1? One year old babies, unless lactose intolerant, are able to handle full fat cow's milk. Just make a shake with that. Also, pudding is great for low weight children. Pediasure helped alot with my tiny boy. Milk, yogurt, meat, cheese, chocolate milk... all these are good for babies over 1 yr old. Just make sure the solid foods are cut down to an acceptable size and serving. Also, Nutripals is good also, and a bit cheaper than Pediasure. Hope I've helped. Best of luck!Can I make milk shakes out of baby's formula milk powder?
i would think so. just add the powder into a blender with ice and water.
I would not recommend it...but you can buy the pediasure chocolate or vanilla drinks and add ice in a blender. That will provide them with plenty of nutrients.
i wouldnt use formula, if they need to gain weight you can use carnation instant breakfast add one pack to 6 oz of milk mix and then add a 1/2 cup of ice cream and mix well. this will add calories and has alot of protein. it taste good and you should have no problems getting them to drink it.
No, they sell powder specifically for that purpose. Baby formula would make them really sick.
I have 3 kids ages from 4-1 and I have never heard of this. If you mix the formula with anything but water and put too little or too much formula it can cause health problems. A child over 1 can have regular vitamin d milk and after 2 yr old should be put on 2%.If the child is allergic to milk you can use soy or rice milk to supplement.
Hope this helps but for best advise ask the childs doctor.
There are better ways like feeding them homo/whole milk. I think pediasure has a special powder for that though.
At one point my Daughter was put on Pediasure, which has about 5 different flavors, for weight gain. She has some intestinal and esophagus issues and the Dr. actually gave us a Rx for the Pediasure. Ask your Dr. It is SOOOO much cheaper than buying it over the counter! Good Luck
Go to a pharmacy and ask for polycose. They will special order it for you and it is made for underweight children who do not meet their caloric requirements in a normal diet!

Is it okay to give a baby just 2 months powder formula?
i ask bc it says on the back of the powdered one that its not sterile and to nut use on preterm infants or infants with low immunity or compromised immunity. why? Is it okay to use on my mostly breastfed, healthy fullterm at birth 7 week old baby?Is it okay to give a baby just 2 months powder formula?
Formula is perfectly safe to use on a healthy infant from birth. My daughter was formula fed from 1 week of age, and was born at 36 weeks gestation and has had no ill effects.
As long as you prepare the formula according to the directions it wont cause harm.Is it okay to give a baby just 2 months powder formula?
You can give powder formula to a baby of any age as long as they aren't preterm...in which case they have special preterm powder formulas.
The fact that the baby is mostly breastfed does make a difference. You cannot give them a ton of formula all of a sudden...you'd have to start with 1 to 2 bottles a day MAX and work your way up.
Of course it's ok. That's what formula is for; to feed babies. All of the infants I have ever known have been on powdered formula since birth and they all turned out just fine.
Yes you can give it to powdered formula to your baby. Unless his or her doctor said otherwise.
why would you want to?acne scars

Does putting baby powder in you'r hair make it less greasy?
Yes, although its better for blonde hair. If you have darker hair i suggest dry shampoo if you have darker hair.Does putting baby powder in you'r hair make it less greasy?
Yes, it totally works. I would use it on my bangs sometimes to touch up before going out somewhere, and it works like a charm! Just put some on your fingertips, pat it where you need it, and brush through and then hairspray! :)Does putting baby powder in you'r hair make it less greasy?
Yes, Baby powder is actually recommended for hair with oil problems. The powder absorbs all the oil. It is a good idea to try it but careful how much you use!
The powder doesn't damage your hair or anything but it is known to dry it out. However when you want your hair to still look clean in betweenn washes then put a little bit in the roots :)
Yeah It Does, It Works Great.
But Be Careful How Much You Use, This Girl At My School Came In With White Hair !!
Sophia %26lt;3 x
Yeah !! But sometimes if you put too much, you see white stuff and PPL thinks dandruff or lice.
hahaha
it would make it white!!!!
no, use dry spray shampoo.

Are there others who enjoy eating items such as cornstarch, chalk, clay, baby powder, ice, dirt or sand.?
I have a condition called pica which is usually contributed to some type of iron or mineral defiency. I have been craving odd items for about 20 years. I first started eating dirt and then sand on a regular basis. Now I am addicted to cornstarch. I've also tried kaolin clay, chalk, baby powder and baking powder. However cornstarch is my favorite. Any others with these cravings.Are there others who enjoy eating items such as cornstarch, chalk, clay, baby powder, ice, dirt or sand.?
It sounds like you really need to talk to your MD about this and try to find ways of curbing your appetite. Eating cornstarch like that simply can't be good and baby powder I'm sure will really hurt you. Please get medical advice.Are there others who enjoy eating items such as cornstarch, chalk, clay, baby powder, ice, dirt or sand.?
cornstarch
you have a nutrient deficiency that needs to be corrected by your doctor......eating that stuff is not good for you......your doctor can help you eat things that are high in the nutrients that you are deficient in so that you will stop eating that stuff
hey my friends went crazy eating chalk........but u may hve trouble conceiving if u have all dat stuff!
No I don't have that kind of an issue but maybe you should get that checked out.

When Can I put baby powder?
My son has a little rashes down his bottom. I want to know when is the right time to put it. He's 5 days old.When Can I put baby powder?
you should be having an appointment soon like at one or two weeks old, just change him more often, and there should be no need for anything but water and air drying.When Can I put baby powder?
You can start now....just make sure he doesnt breathe it in. There is liquid baby powder...you usually can find it at walmart or target. - that's what i used and it really helped!
I would try beudroux's butt paste...or some destin cream also. They work really good on rashes. And change him as soon as he pees. With a rash, his bottom is very sensative and it might burn to let the diaper ';fill up.';....and on the other hand...he could just have sensative skin period. Hope this helps.
I put baby powder on my little girl every time I change her diaper.
just use a bit of vaseline on his bottom. Some babies are allergic to certain types of disposable diapers so if it keeps up, talk to the doctor about it because you might have to switch diapers.
I use the desitin creamy, I love it, my 3 yr old is prone to rashes and I change his diaper constantly...I have used baby powder, but when you do put it in your hand first, away from baby's face then wipe it on.
baby powder is no longer recommended for use on infants. However, if you are desperate and need to use it use the roller ball kind.. not the kind that poofs up. It causes asthma, breathing problems and much more!
Destin always does the trick for our little one.. talk to you pedi.. call them before you do anything. Dont take anyone advice on here with your little precious cargo without getting your own docs opinion.
Baby powder isn't recommended because it can be inhaled. Try using some diaper rash ointment or just some plain vaseline after you've wiped him off and dried him. Shouldn't take long to clear it up!
Best of luck to you!

What happens if I use expired powder baby formula?
depends how long it expired, like a day or two its still good.What happens if I use expired powder baby formula?
Baby could have some tummy issues and get sick. Call WIC.What happens if I use expired powder baby formula?
You should not risk using the powder if it is way out of date....a month or so ok, but more than that throw it out.....do not know if the vitamin and nutritional stability is potent enough to give the baby nutrients needed for proper growth.
I will call you a BAD mommy!!
nothing....its to scare you more than anything
using expired baby formular usually makes people get off their but, go down to the quickie mart and buy some more!
I would not advise you that you use it. It may have some unseen mold growing in it that could cause the baby to get very, very sick. I recieved an article on people eating pancakes made from old pancake mixes and they got very, very sick. Some have even died from eating expired pancake mix. Don't take that risk. Throw it out and buy your baby some new formula.
Also seriously consider the answers given by Decoy Duck and momsapplepie.
don't do that to your baby.
Some dates on items are meant for the store to have to sell it by that date, some mean to use it by that date. find out wich it is. Since it is a baby, I wouldn't use it. I am the Queen of consuming past date items for myself but not others and I have never had a bad expirience.
probably nothing, but why would you want to take a chance on giving a baby expired food? If $$ is an issue there are many agencies that would help your baby get fresh formula.
I'm sure nothing,the date is just there to sell you more.
DON'T!
Nothing, as long as it has been kept in a cool dry place and stored properly. However, some of the nutrients may have lost their potency. If it was not stored properly, throw it away immediately, as this would pose a health risk to the child. If it's just a bit that was stored properly and is just expired by a few weeks, I would use it up straightaway, but be careful to use the next batch by the time on the can.
Expired powder not much just may not be as nutrious if its under 6 months past. I wouldn't use anything older then that because it contains moisture and could have bacteria or mold starting. Liquid formulas should not be used past 2-3 days after expirations if unopened- anything opened should be thrown out as they spoil very quickly.
i dont recommend using anything expired! I work in a retail store over freshness~ I recommend throwing it away and buying new. First off the reason it has an expriation date is because it looses its not as potent any longer. Second just like flour- little yeast bugs can devolp over the years in it (from air escapeing in). Also the power may of started to stink or worse clump! Because mositure can get in and that can also lead to causing infection on your baby. Just toss it and get new! Its not worth the risks...
food poisoning is a possibility, it depends how long ago was expired... expiration date has purpose...
There is an expiry date for a reason, use your head because you could make the baby ill.
that would be dumb to do that. Would you eat expired food or milk?
not a good idea the baby could get sick and even died
You could make your baby very sick. Don't be stupid. Throw it away.
Nothing so everyone chill out. The government hands out expired goods to needy people all the time. If you do not use it do not toss it ,donate it. The expiry date is a guideline the shops must follow to make sure the goods are fresh when sold. They last longer than the date, that is just the last day it can be sold. More than a year then you can toss it, unless it is powder it will last much longer. Hope that helps.
Another bit of advice ';If in Doubt throw it out'; But to calm your worries ask a nurse or physician
~A~
just dont
The baby will explode. Be careful.
A child some where dies.
Why would you do something like that? You're not actually feeding it to an infant are you? They have expiration dates for a reason.
nothing good, i would assume.
Call the manufacturer of the formula and ask them how safe it is to use. I'm sure if it has been sealed it is ok for a week or so, but check with them or your baby's doctor.
dont that would be dumb
Really bad taste, best scenario. Worst one, diarrhea for poor baby.
You wouldn't know the result until after the baby ingested the expired baby formula. Why not take it back to the store and ask to trade it for a freshly dated formula?
bacteria infection
If you were BFing you wouldn't have this problem

What happens if I use expired powder baby formula?
Powdered milk doesn't ';go bad'; very quickly; it won't give baby a stomach ache. However, some of the vitamins in the formula have a maximum life span. In the worst case, a baby could suffer malnutrition, in particular scurvy. It is not fun and not something to mess with. However, that is only likely if you are using expired formula exclusively for a long time and probably only if it is *long* expired since there is a built-in margin of error.What happens if I use expired powder baby formula?
I should have been clearer--I am *not* saying that it is safe or a good idea to use expired formula. Malnutrition is not something to take a chance on. But it is unlikely that there would be a problem if you already *did* use some. Next time, throw it out on the expiration date. Report Abuse
What happens if I use expired powder baby formula?
call the hospital nursary for a proper answer!!
your baby could get diarrhea.
Wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry? Don't use it. If you are broke or desperate and determined to use it then return it to the store and tell them it was expired when you brought it home yesterday. Exchange it.
Your baby will get sick.
well what would happen if you drank expired milk? you would get an upset stomach, same thing with formula.
It will make your baby sick! Don't do that, never give your child spoiled food!
Don't use it..
You will probably give your baby an upset stomach just as you would get from drinking milk that is out of date. Babies do not have the immune system that adults do so you always have to be more careful with them. Always check the dates on all formula and baby foods--never use any out of date. It might not hurt your baby--but would it be worth that chance if it did??????????
It could make your child sick.
There's a reason the expiration date is on there.
dont use it
