Mums stunned after realising what plastic sides on formula boxes are for

dailystar.co.uk:

mums have gone wild after learning the true purpose of the plastic rim on baby formula boxes.The 'life hack' was posted to TikTok by Gillian Mitchell, who only noticed the tiny bit of plastic when she was weening her first child off of formula milk.Mitchell shared a video to the app of her demonstrating how to make formula scoops level using the plastic at the side of the tub.She said: "When you are taking your firstborn off milk and realise that this little plastic part makes the powder level.

I know what to do second time round!"However, she wasn't the only mum to not know the hack until it was too late, as another said: "I was on my 3rd baby before I realised this."Someone else wrote: "I used to level it off at top with a knife until I realised."Gillian wrote back saying "I don't feel bad then lol."But other mums didn't understand how she didn't know, as one user said: "If people read the instructions mine said it there - I was hella shook giving formula and read every bit."Another wrote: "Really are you only finding this out now?"But it seems there are more formula hacks that aren't as obvious as manufacturers hoped because one follower added: "I didn’t realise for ages that the inside of the lid holds the scoop so you don’t have to fish it out the powder every time."The news comes after a dad has revealed a "genius" trick that stops kids asking 'why' all the time.The parenting hack was revealed as one Reddit user asked people to share the most effective psychological trick they'd ever used.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.People were keen to share their tips as the viral post racked up more than 16,000 responses.Talking.
