Q&A: Which formula preparation method is best?

by Dr. Karen Sadler

Is it easier to digest powdered or ready-to-feed formula? I have heard that it is easier to digest already made formula, and that there is no nutritional difference.

There are three formula preparations to choose from:- ready-to-feed, concentrate and powder. When reconstituted according to the directions, all three are nutitionally identical. There are slight texture differences (and perhaps taste as well, though they always taste the same to me...) but most children will accept them interchangeably and they should be the same in terms of digestibility.
