I started off feeding my LO formula but I have recent switched to breast milk. I am pumping into a bottle and feeding it to her. but anyway does breast milk take longer to digest than formula?
No need to be. Next change lightly squeeze babies tummy just to check for hardness. If it's nice and squishy and baby doesn't seem irritated and in pain you're all good. ;)
okay thank you. I was getting worried. @californiahaley
@adrii2280, the switch from one to another can be hard on some babies for awhile. Also it's not uncommon for EBF babies to not poop for a week sometimes more and they're fine as long as their tummies don't feel like a hard ball. Basically breastmilk creates less waste because they use 95+% of what's in it. So there is less left to poop out.
okay. I was just wondering because my little one was popping fine until I switched her to breast. she's a week old today @californiahaley
No it's shorter because it's easier for them to digest and get through their little systems. Formula takes longer because it's harder on their bodies to digest it
no breastmilk is a lot easier to digest than formula so its digested faster
What's everyone's recommendations on formula milk?! Still may breast feed but in 2 minds at the moment. Tia☺️
Hey girlies! I plan on breast feeding my LO as much as I can. I also plan to formula feed when needed. Have any of you moms tried organic formulas? How was it? Experience?
Because I have to be on mental health medication after birth I am unable to breastfeed😔 what are some good formulas for babies? I know breast is best but I can’t be on the medication I need and breast feed.
Am I they only mom on here not breast feeding? I never have enough milk come in to supply a baby so formula it is
Do any of you moms use breast milk & formula to feed your baby?
she finally pooped and seems much calmer. thank you @californiahaley
