I am wanting to mix formula & breast milk since I'm not making much milk. What formula do you ladies suggest?

You're welcome. And since he still nursed after the surgery then you might have an easier time getting him back to the breast. try cutting out bottles completely and just nursing him. If he fusses then switch breasts and offer 1oz of expressed milk pace fed then go back to he breast. As long as he has 6 wet diapers in 24 hours he's getting enough.

he nursed for a couple weeks after his circumcision. I will try that though. Thank you! @mirandag

When did he stop latching? If it was after a circumcision it may be difficult to get him back to the breast. I would start by pace feeding his bottles, he only should eat 1-1.25oz per hour and you should pump every 2 hours during the day and every 3 at night ideally.

he's not wanting to latch at all anymore @mirandag & even when he does he unlatches within a couple seconds so I've been just pumping

Does he latch at all or do you just pump?

The newborn one is like a light blue colored can.

He's 4 weeks. I will go buy the newborn one & the water today. They just sent it to me so I've kept it on hand just in case of an emergency. @supermama929

Yes with water. How old is your little one? Because the yellow packet is for 3 months+ and if your baby is younger than that, there is a newborn can/packet that you use. The only difference is there's more vitamin D I believe in the newborn one. But yes. For every two oz, one scoop of the powder. Example: 2 oz = 1 scoop, 4 oz = 2 scoops.

I have some regular enfamil that someone gave me. It's in yellow packets. Do you mix it with distilled water? @supermama929

Or the regular enfamil. We were on the gentlease but it actually gave my son gas so we switched to the regular enfamil. It's the closest to Breastmilk.

What's the best way to transition from formula to whole milk?

missing31user @m_naquin1988, not when given regularly, the sugars in apple juice work as a stool softener. my doctor
nathansmommy @crunchymomma, okay pediatrician said to give pear juice when constipated for my little one
missing31user @m_naquin1988, they recommend pear juice now cause its less acidic than apple juice so it's easier on

When I mix breast milk and formula do you still add water into it?

When can I start giving my son regular milk? He turns 10 months in 2 days. I bought unsweetened almond milk yesterday so he can try. Would that be okay? I’m lowkey tired of him on formula but I mean he’s still a baby lol.

amysbabies 12 months. Focus on purees, you can steam veggies and mash them yourself. Or mash up some
makethatfour I also was told to start peanut butter at 6 months for exact what @tacos4lyfe stated.
jazzyjazz I gave my kids a little peanut butter at around 8 months...and transitioned them to cows milk
