B. Liquid concentrate requires water and once it’s opened, it has to be consumed within forty eight hours. It’s main flaw is it’s not portable because of it’s weight.
C. Ready-to-feed is the easiest way of preparing, just open the can and pour out the formula. And it is the most expensive of the three and largest to store.
