My Hanging Formula Bag Covers

This might sound totally prissy, but I think my formula is disgusting. I don’t even prepare it, I make my mom do it! Yes, I realize one day i’ll have to be a big girl and suck it up, but something about that yellow-ish liquid being poured into a plastic bag makes me nauseous and i’m not about it.

I generally suffer from severe nausea, so my feeds are already difficult to push through, and then things like my formula just add on. Looking at it at all makes me cringy. Anyone relate?! I know I can’t be alone on this!

About a month ago, when preparing for the big operation, I stumbled upon this ADORABLE formula bag cover and hit dat “buy now” button as fast as I possibly could!

Did anyone know these existed?! Why didn’t you tell me?!

The shop only had 1 available, but my mom got some fabric and sewed me a second to hold my pump! SO much cuter than that clunky clamp!

The cover I use to hold my pump has a piece of velcro to hang on the pole, but the cover for my formula does not and just hangs from it’s own hanger.

The snaps on the covers makes it so easy for the bag’s tube to travel from itself to the pump and then to your port. Since using these covers we haven’t had any trouble with the tube kinking (which means less beeping!!)

These covers are great for people like me who can’t stand to look at their own food, and also people who do their feeds at night, as they’re great for holding an ice pack and keeping your formula cool!

Because of my slower pump rate, I use the smaller formula bags (500 ml) but I found larger covers here.

The shop I purchased the original formula bag cover is here and my mom used that as a pattern to make the second cover.

My mom always tells me there are tools to make every unbearable situation a little more bearable. Well, she’s so cool that she’s even willing to break out the sewing machine and make them herself. The best of the best.

Thanks, mom.
