Enfamil A.R. Lipil

I didn't use that, but I did use an organic formula that was hard to mix up. Do you have a hand blender? That's what I would use- I actually just blended up a pitcher full every other day and then I'd fill up the bottles from the pitcher. Made life a lot easier. There was no shaking up the bottle with our formula. Hand blenders are very handy (excuse the pun). Not to be confused with a regular blender- who wants to wash that every other day? Hand blender is much easier to wash.

Put the Powder in first, then stir while you add the water.

Do you know anyone who sells Pampered Chef? I used the "mini-whipper" to mix formula & it worked great. Just a little stainless steel tool w/ a little spring on the end--and pretty inexpensive:

Are you heating the water before adding formula?
That's they way I do it for my son....another thing to try if your not already is add the water first then the formula.
Also, try shaking the bottle back and forth really good instead of up and down.

If you're already doing all those then I'm not exactly sure what else to tell you. I know it's just a thicker formula so it's going to be harder to mix well.
I did use it on my son for about 4 months and never had that problem.

Congrats on your new little boy.

Yes, we had major problems with that. And I started to notice that it was usually towards the end of the can each time, maybe because it was all packed down at the bottom. We would usually put 6 oz. of hot water, then add the formula and mix it up with a fork really well, and then add a couple of ice cubes to bring it up to 8 oz. That usually worked for us.

Good luck. We loved Enfamil AR Lipil, but that was our one problem with it.

I use this same formula and have never had a problem with it clumping up. Are you putting the water in first then the formula? I just put in the water then formula and shake it up real good. It has never been an issue. Good Luck. Maybe you got a bad can or something.

are you adding it to warm water or cold? i know warm water will make it clump..... i have six childrens but its been a while... good luck www.athomebusiness.myarbonne.com L.

Yes. We used a blender and it worked great for us! You can make it in a big batch for the whole day and keep in the fridge for up to 24 hrs.

We used it and the powder did not help her spit up. We changed to the liquid (pre-made) AR and it was great. It is a little more expensive but it was worth it for us. Good Luck!

When our son was born, he constantly spit-up, but even after the GI was done nothing seemed to help. We tried many, many formulas, including Enfamil for the spitting up and it didn't work at all. A girlfriend then suggested the Carnation Good Start brand and it worked miracles for our son.

I have always had a problem mixing formula. Like someone else said, it helps to heat the water and shake vigorously. I ended up purchasing one of those drink mixers (3.99 at babiesrus). I got it primarily to use with my son's straw cups, but works well with bottles too.

I had that problem with my son's formula. What I would do was put the powder in the bottle and put 2oz of HOT water in it and shake it up until it dissolved. Then, I filled the rest with cool water and it ended up the perfect temperature for him to drink and it was completely clump-free.

Try carnation ! Mixes very well, cheaper & same ingredients ! .....taste better too ! Like a sweet milk, without the sugar !... My 2 children loved it !.....

yes it will cump. we mixed it in mass quanties (all the formula he would need in one day) in a sports bottle and shook the daylights out of it and that seemed to end the problem In fact if you are intrested we have some left over our son is on milk now. We are trying to get rid of it if you are intrested in buying it email me ____@____.com

A.R. has rice starch added which makes it thicker. Thats why they use it to help with acid reflux.

I tried that formula for the first time over the weekend and had the same problem. Then I saw on the can it says to let it sit for five minutes before giving. I shook it really well, let it set, then shook it again. Then it was fine.
