Switching Formula while traveling?

[Iggipolka]

I'm going to be flying cross country from California to WDW with my 14 week old FF infant While on the plane & at WDW for a week I was thinking about using Enfamil Lipl pre-made bottles for the convince. She usually eats Earth's Best Organic Powder at home & we carry pre-made bottles in a little cooler. I think the Florida heat would be too intense for the cooler & it is a pia to carry.

Would switching formula for a week really mess her up?

Switching formulas could be a problem. Some babies can handle a variety of formulas and some can't. Since your little one is still very little, I wouldn't change, especially on vacation. Why not get one of those dispensers that you can use for powder? There are usually three sections and you put one bottle's worth of powder in each section. When it's time for baby to eat, you can fill a bottle with water, then add the powder from the compartment.

We used powdered formula. We just put the correct amount of powder into several bottles and when it was time for her to eat we added water and shook it up. No need for a cooler.

I agree with the PP. DO NOT SWITCH formulas. It can cause a bunch of issues.

Those sectioned containers are great. If you normally heat your DD's bottle, start now giving it at room temperature at least a few times a day so that she is used to it.
Just carry the water filled bottles, dump the mix in, shake it up, and feed away.
