I need advice asap:
I normally breast feed my daughter, for the last three days I been pumping giving her my milk from a bottle. (1)
I don't have a stash of breast milk frozen, wic suggested that I mix half breastmilk and half formula. That's what I been doing. (2)
(The problem and my concern): after feeding my daughter she will burp at least two times, within ten minutes she will start to gag and milk comes out of her nose and it is she's her like 30 to 45 seconds of gasping until she catch her breath.
The milk I supplemented half with my breast milk is gerber soy milk. My son who is ten has many food allergies, they have the same dr so she wanted me go straight to soy milk with my daughter. (3)
I haven't seen her do this choking problem until she started using the bottle and I give her tge breastfeeding medela bottle and the other bottle that start with a T and the second word is tom. It's not like I'm using cheap bottles. (4)
Can someone give me some good solid advice? Will I produce more milk if I eat the recommended amount of calories?
(This is too long for me to proof read expect bad grammar)

@nichols41418, ok now it makes sense to me, like I said my son is ten I feel like I'm starting all over. He has EOE which started out as acid reflux uuugggghhhhh my son had to stay on formula until he was 15 months

@haydensmommy5, thanks for your reply, she has a schedule appt Wednesday im going bring it to the dr attention. I think I'm going go back to just breastfeeding and pump after I feed her even if nothing comes out since she already ate maybe my milk supply will increase. @bonniesue I got some oatmeal Quaker Oats granola bars and fruit cups so far @bianca_rose I made one added flaxseed n Brewers yeast in it but I think I made it to think....so I froze into my son's ice pop tray and speaking of I'm about to go try it frozen

Lactation smoothies doubled my supply, also nurse as much as possible, babies are more effective than the pump

Perhaps store healthy snacks around. Like nuts or fruit. I know it's rough. Best of luck mama 😊

Wic told me to do the same thing. I try to breastfeed as much as I can and pump in between for when I'm out or others want to feed him. My doctor recommended the same thing since food allergies run in my family. He was doing the Similac Soy. However he didn't do well on it. He does better on formula made with rice starch. Like Enfamil A.R. or Similac for spit up. Maybe that's not the best formula for your daughter.

I eat oatmeal most morning and I drink power aid twice a day to keep up with my electrolytes. Sometimes I find myself too busy and I miss meals with such a little appetite. Thanks for the reply @bonniesue

If you take care of yourself, stay hydrated, eat enough you usually will do better with your supply. Also limit any supplementing. Oatmeal supposedly works. There's lots of recipes to increase supply online
