Hi! It's driving me crazy.
So I normally buy the aptamil 1.2kg box. It doesn't come in a tub so I have emptied the Ceralic tub. Washed it many times and dried it. Then added the formula in that tub. The tub is amazing. However, you can smell the porridge even though I've cleaned it many times. Have I made the wrong decision? Help.

I buy the 1.2kg boxes of Aptamil.. I just kept an actually Aptamil tub and empty one for he bags into it.
@Jasmine, thanks. I didn't do that cause I felt like the original aptmail tub seemed flimsy and felt like I couldn't recycle it. They seem like the type you use the once and then bin and was worried about it being airtight. Do you think ok with using the Ceralic tin as it seemed more airtight and reusable for many uses. Even thoight I've cleaned and washed it am just worried about contamination.

I personally would not use it as it’s not designed for formula. Especially because you said you can still smell the porridge ect. I’d much rather put it in the container it’s suppose to be in. So an Aptamil container. I’ve been reusing the same one for just over a month and no issues with the formula ect. I just wiped it out with kitchen roll when I add another bag (no water!!) and no issues at all
@Jasmine how often do you replace the tub?

I’ve had this tub for just over a month and once I’ve used the last bag I will then buy a tub of formula for the tub and then purchase the 1.2kg box x

Well it’s a personal choice I used to give my son hipp organic and they don’t come in tubs however before that he was on Cow & gate so I use to just as you said their wash the tub and put his formula in that . He was never sick or anything , it’s a can so it had the after smell of the formula but it was clean I made sure off it and he was fine after a while I did buy this from Amazon as I accidentally binned the tin . But my son is 2 years he doesn’t take formula anymore but he was fine Super Doopers One Touch Baby Milk Powder Dispenser - Airtight Food Storage Containers with Lid for Formula, Coffee, Cereal, Flour - Includes Spoon & Levelling Bar - Top Rack Dishwasher-Safe (1000ml) https://amzn.eu/d/0UyxrH1 xx
