Playtex Drop Ins

Anyone out there use playtex drop ins? How do you feel about them? I am considering trying them for baby #2 thinking that it will be less cleaning of bottles (hubby is not much help!). I will likely use a few different brands of bottles (like dr browns and avent in past.) If you have used them, can you mix the formula and water in the pouch itself or do you have to premix the formula then put it in the pouch? Just curious, thanks!

Need Tips on Making Formula in Batches and Mixing Formula with Playtex Drop Ins

Need some tips on making formula in batches or mixing formula with the Playtex drop-ins. My 3 month old son just recently switched from a special formula for his milk allergy (Neocate) to Similac Alimentum. We were making fresh bottles each time with the Neocate. However, my son is now eating between 6 and 7 ounces, which 7 ounces is not feasible to measure on the Alimentum - it's in increments of 2 ounces. So I wanted to make a batch an them pour 6-7 ounces in each bottle. I use the Playtex Drop in bottles and have loved them, but...

What's the Best Formula?

My 6 month old is strictly breastfed but I'd like to have some formula on hand for emergencies. What is the best formula out there? Price is not an issue as I'll only buy a small amount. She doesn't seem to have any tummy issues regardless of what I eat. I have no experience with formula so I don't know where to begin. I don't plan on trying a few to see which one she likes. I just want to buy some and stick it in the cabinet. But, I'd like it to be as easy for her as possible if she does ever need it.

Is Enfamil Gentlease a Soy Formula?

We switched my daughter to Gentlease due to her having a lot of problems with gas (despite vented bottles and gas drops in each bottle of formula). It seems to be helping quite a bit, but when I was reading the ingredients I got quite confused. Here is what it lists as one of the main ingredients: "partially hydrolyzed nonfat milk and whey protein concentrate solids (soy)". Whey protein is milk protein as far as I know, so I'm not sure what the "soy" in parenthesis means?? Their site says "It contains an easy-to-digest milk protein...
