Am I the only one who has trouble getting this to dissolve? Hot or cold water it just clumps! What's the secret?

I just mix a little hot water in the bottle with the formula and then shake the bottle until mixed and then I add the rest of the water needed.

The Dr. Brown's formula pitcher really helps! I make a batch for the day and it almost fully dissolves when using the pitcher with the special stir top!

I would stir it really well with the handle of a spoon till most chunks are gone, this helps it dissolve and also minimizes bubbles.

I mix the formula 2 ounces at a time, with hot water in a glass Dr. Brown's bottle. Then put the bottle in a cup of hot water for a few minutes and shake. Repeat until it's all dissolved.

Put the desired amount of room temperature water in your bottle and add the two scoops (for 4 oz. of water) on top. Put the bottle top back on and shake vigorously back and forth. Never had a problem with this dissolving or clumping. It looks like it's clumped when you add it to the water, but shaking vigorously changes that. Hope this helps.

I always keep my distilled water at room temperature and then shake, I've never had an issue of clumping.

So, so bad... mix will not dissolve no matter how hot the water or how long you stir...

I put in warmer water..and swish it around..and then using a long stick w/ a small towel rubber banded to the stick, clean it out....the water tastes great...

Hi! I know it still clumps up even if you put the formula first. I think if you put the formula one at a time and not dump it on top of each other it will reduce the clumping because I notice that when I do it slowly it actually dissolves faster. But I'm kinda impatient sometimes so I just dump all the formula and just mix it vigorously until I see no more clumps. If you still see clumps then I guess just keep mixing. I know it takes a little time but it's better than shaking it for 5 minutes! LOL :)

I'm not sure whatever I did I couldn't get the chunks to blend well with anything actually. Personally, I would try warm water, but if that doesn't work try blending it with something other than just water.

Try warm water, shake excess water off and reapply. I did that with mine and it worked. YMMV...good luck !

I mix 1/3 teaspoon of the powder with 38 ounces of cold water to make iced green tea. It does not dissolve completely, but it does color the water green and tastes like brewed green tea only very strong. Some sediment will fall to the bottom, but if you swirl your cup before taking a drink, it mixes it up nicely and you won't be getting any tea leaf texture. I have found it unnecessary to use hot water or brew it. Your personal tastes will dictate whether this approach works for you.

Using warm water really helps to dissolve the formula. If the water is cold is takes forever!

Most of the time I can get a pretty stiff froth--almost microbubbles. A few times it's failed and I end up with a small amount of large bubbles. Can't say why the difference. Definitely works better with warm milk rather than cold, at least for me. (I should say that I am limited to using a mixture of part half-and-half and part water; don't have skim milk, which would undoubtedly work better.)

Added to hot water or other liquid it dissolves quickly, but if you microwave it it is horrible. I think when you nuke it it changed the molecular structure. But that aside.... The stuff is horrible tasting !!! It ruins the flavor of every thing you put it in. Worse than dry powdered milk! Awful!!

Go to wellnessmama. Com as Katie has some info on this clay. I followed the pkg directions for face mask an it was way too much. I had trouble getting a good consistency cuz it clumps. For bath I used 2 scoops, like coffee scooper. I also put 2 scoops in big bowl an soaked my feet but again the stuff clumps an takes forever to dissolve.

It doesn't instantly dissolve. Try a mortal and pestle or coffee grinder. Small electric chopper might work also.

My husband fixes it. He puts water into a blender and then adds 1 packet and runs it until all the particles are mixed well. Then, he chills it and we have it at dinner time. He usually fixes it early afternoon so it gets nice and chilled. Then, when we go and drink it, we had 2 or 3 ice cubes to make it good and cold. I hope this helps.

I let the tube float in hot water while I'm shaving . I also use a small brush . I have not had any problems with clumps . A little goes a long way for me

it does dissolve, but I dont much like the taste. What I do is put it into capsules. I have a capsule machine (manual) which will do50 capsules at a time.

I have the same issue, I tried to use cold water, tap water, filtered water same results. Let me know if you get an answer.Christophe

It has been awhile since i have used it, so this may not be accurate, but hot water may actually adversely affect the nutrients, so it may be best to dissolve it in only warm or cool water. It doesn't FEEL as satisfying that way, but it may be more beneficial though. The company could be consulted aboout that. https://cho-wa.com/
