Consider a different Good Start® formula format (powder, ready-to-feed, concentrated liquid). Consult your healthcare professional before switching if your baby has specific feeding concerns, and check if they have any samples (this will depend on availability).   

Good Start® infant formulas are nutritionally complete and meet the complete nutritional requirements of healthy term infants from 0 to 12 months.

Since formula products differ from country to country, do your best to travel with enough formula for the duration of your trip—it’s highly recommended. Understanding that extended trips (and packing for baby, right?) may make this difficult, it’s recommended to at least bring some of the formula you’ve used immediately before your trip. 

If you want to be extra prepared, you can consult the e-commerce stores in the country you’ll be visiting to find out what infant formulas are available. Then, you can share that information with your doctor to help determine what will be suitable for your baby. 

Remember: Always discuss any feeding changes with your baby’s doctor.

Here are a few ways you can help wave goodbye to clumps for good: 

• Add the water first: Water, then powder…always. 
• Test the temp: For the best mixing results, ensure you’re using lukewarm water. 
• Don’t wait to shake it! Shake the bottle immediately after you’ve added the powder to the water. 

The most essential step? Always following the label instructions—it’s important for the health of your baby. 

Excellent question. Storage is very important and differs based on the type of formula. 

Storing opened formula 

Ready-to-feed or Concentrate: Cover and store it up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. 

Powder: Once opened, use within one month. Store the container in a cool, dry place and make sure the lid is tightly closed*. 

Storing unopened formula 

Powder, ready-to-feed or concentrate: Store unopened formula in a cool, dry place (6 – 25° C).  

*Formula storage instructions are stated based on Good Start® infant formula products. Please consult the label for full preparation and use instructions. If using another brand of infant formula, please follow the directions stated on the label.
