Great idea! I can't tell you how many moms I see who prepare an 8oz bottle and carry it around all day for baby to suck on it, whenever. Warm temps, backwash of spit.... yuck!
Doubtful the mom would consider filling a glass of milk and leaving it on the kitchen counter all day and taking a drink out of it, whenever, all afternoon. Of course not. It would spoil and make her sick.
But somehow, formula is viewed as a different - and safe - product, quite unlike store-bought milk. It's just powder and water, totally unrelated to milk products, right?

I want a formula testing kit myself to test for bacteria and contaminants every time I see a client that has been using formula.  Can you imagine if consumers could test the powder and find out how much bacteria was in it what that might do?  Just like the home lead test strips.
