Do you shake or swirl formula?

Question

I’ve been breastfeeding up until now & I know that when you warm a bottle of breast milk, you have to swirl it but the directions on the container of formula say to shake it. Which one do I do?

Answer

Following the directions on the container is probably your best bet.

Answer

I breastfeed but I heard shaking introduces bubbles into the bottle and therefore gas into baby's gut.

Answer

You have to shake formula. It wont mix if you swirl it. Shaking breastmilk damages it so that's why you dont shake it but formula  absolutely has to be shaken

Answer

Shake. If you swirl it, it probably wouldn't mix properly and have chunks.

Answer

I always shook my sons formula and I believe I shook his breast milk as well. Never had any issues.

Answer

Swirl. My baby had bad gas and it was recommended to swirl to reduce the gas in it. When we shake her bottle it looked like a frothy latte so it made sense to us.

Answer

Shake formula so it mixers better. 😊

Answer

Shake

Answer

My son would have horrible gas if I shook the formula. I got the dr.browns pitcher and it works amazing. No air bubbles at all. If you're doing more than one bottle a day I would highly recommend it.

Answer

Shake it, to ensure it mixes well & there’s no clumps of formula
