I just hate to be beholden to the formula marketers. I vote for a totally non-formula related company like the capitol vials or the sterile specimen containers. At Ochsner in New Orleans we used 'centrifuge tubes' with great success. Currently we pour the water out and use the containers. This was my boss's decision. I voted for sterile specimen containers. I'll just wait for the company salesperson to let us know we can't do it anymore. That will be good I think. I would be concerned about pouring the formula out and rinsing. Maybe some formula traces remain to enter the baby. Also using the tap water is another step and would seem to render the container unsterile.
