OK so lately ive been picking up the odd bottle briahnas chucked away or rolled under the cabinet and it looks like this:
Now i clean her bottles THOROUGHLY in fresh dish water. I scrub them wash them out and sometimes re scrub them, same with the teets, so its nothing like something from the dishwater or anything.. Its never happened before, its only been happening since i moved her onto the heinz nurture toddler milk. Do you think its from the formula? Does this happen to anyone else? Its icky!! ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |

wow another complaint about the formula.....there is a thread on the tm message board about this formula and the changes that have been made...and if i remember correctly the discolouration to the teats and bottles is from the iron in the forumla....someone has taken this to fairgo so will be interesting when that story comes out.
but the upshot seems to be that the new forumula is horrible, and Heinz is just brushing off the complaints etc. opps sorry to hijack this ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have just changed brands of formula today from Heinz Nurture, to a Karicare one.
Have a read over the thread on TM, you are definately not the only one having issues!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I still breastfeed, but because Em is prem I have to give her ferrous syrup (an iron supplement) and a vitamin supplement everyday, which I mix with a bit of breastmilk and give to her with a syringe. The mixture goes an icky borwn colour, and whatever's left in the syringe goes like that too, esp if left on the bench for a day before I wash it. So I would say, at a guess, that it's probably from the mix of the iron and other vitamins in the formula causing the icky brown colour. -------------

wow so im not the only one that has that problem. Cause ive been noticing it lately too. I dont go to the trademe threads (wouldn't know how to lol) but is it harmful to them in anyway? Weve only just bought a new tin.. i assumed it was something to do with our water.... ------------- Tristen - 24/06/07 Rylan - 11/12/08 Angel Babies -14/08/05 & 21/01/2010 Curtis - 26/02/12 |

Completely aside from the formula angle, when I was taking the sides off the gremlins cots I found a stray bottle underneath and I can tell you what happens to cows milk when it's left to it's own devices...
It goes fluoro yellow  -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

They look like a colony of bacteria and fungi to me. This is what happens when milk is left to rot, and bacterial and fungal spores in the air get into the bottle and multiplies. They feed off the carbohydrates in the milk.
I remember doing an experiment with milk in a biology paper at university, and the colonies of bacteria and fungi looked like that colour. The colour can vary, depending on the strain of bacteria and fungi. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

yes but i clean mine everyday in the evening after tristen has gone to bed and they were looking like that by the end of the day surely thats not right. Funny how this current tin has been ok, ( ive enven got a bottle sitting on my bench thats been there for a couple of days as weve been very busy and it still doesnt have the orange stuff in it) its made in NZ and i got it from my local supermarket rather than pack n save which is where i got the tins that made my bottles go like that picture ------------- Tristen - 24/06/07 Rylan - 11/12/08 Angel Babies -14/08/05 & 21/01/2010 Curtis - 26/02/12 |

Yeha i got a bottle from her cot after a afternoon nap and it was like that so it cant be growing fungus that quickly can it? Briahna only sleeps for an hour or so at a time!
LOL and Emma, ive found a bottle under the seat of my car and for ages before that i was wondering what the terrible smell was... hahha,. I had to throw the whole bottle away it was SICK! I was gagging and nearly throwing up. It was ORANGE.
Oh yeah, and the Heinz formula i am using, the can is still the same and theres no little pamphlet saying that its changed. Its the green can. The 3rd one. ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |

all the pamphlet says is that the new tins are made in the uk by there sister company but still have the same ingredents . . . .
but what they dont tell you untill you ring them is that yes its the same ingredents but they are alot more processed over there and the formula is alot granier. aparently in 6wks time it will all be coming from aussie insted of the uk. fingers crossed the aussies make it better than the uk ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> DD 10.5yrs DS 6yrs DS 11mths 5 little angles watching from above |

I know what the pamphlet says, im just saying when they changed the follow on formula they had the pamphlet in it, the tin was different and so was the formula. This one is the same as the others used to be, its not grainy at all, and its not frothy and the tin is the same. It seems like this one hasnt been changed, but maybe they just havnt sold the old stock of this one yet? ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |

on the tin under the ingredents list above the warning if it has " made in New zealand" its the old stock

EWWWWW!
I just changed from nurture to karicare. Now I found that its way grainier than nurture and lumpy and foamy! I regret going on it, but if the nurture has changed then im not going back on it! ------------- Alex, Thomas and Lily http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Alex I changed Caden to Nestle NAN with Pro-Biotics, I was so hacked off when they changed the Nuture!! and its going to Fair Go so ive heard!
The Nestle NAN is FAB!!!! And Eeewww bout the icky stuff in the bottle MelanieAndBree, not sure what could cause that......I clean Cadens bottles as soon as he has finished drinking, or rinse them just incase they get yucky. ------------- |
