Similac Sensitive or Enfamil Newborn to supplement with?
I've had bronchitis and the flu over the passed 2 weeks and my supply has gone down from being able to produce 1-2 extra meals a day, to not producing enough for my baby to eat. So while I work to get it up, I have to supplement. He vomits the Similac Sensitive every time though. I mix it with the breastmilk. Would Enfamil Newborn be better? He's 2months old.
@gabesmama have you ever done that before? I've heard about it, had a friend that donated. But for some reason I'm leery about it
You could also explore donor milk. There are a lot of mamas that have extra or are willing to pump for those that need it if formula isn't working. You can post on Human milk 4 Human Babies Facebook group in your area or eats on feets and ask for it or see if anyone near you offered extra
I actually do have the samples lol I have 3 Similac and 2 enfamil. Just not sure which one I should be using. I hate seeing him throw up 6oz of food.
You can actually get samples with the Enfamil company if you sign up they will provide you three different formulas 🙂 (newborn, gentleness, and infant)
I give my son enfamil newborn and I wanna give him similac, will that be bad for him ?
What are some good formulas for newborns? I already decided not to use Similac and now Enfamil has something bad about it. I want something good and I want it organic for my baby girl. Any suggestions?
I want to change my baby's formula from Similac Sensitive to another one. I'm thinking Parent's Choice, Gerber Good Start, or Enfamil. Any tips or suggestions?
I hate how I don't produce enough milk and have to supplement with formula 💔😢 causing him to have explosive diarrhea
If I was to get on WIC is there any way I can get Similac supplement
@ahouse6592, I have struggled with low supply since the beginning and have been supplementing with donor milk for several weeks. I didn't use the Facebook group yet but got donations from women in my breastfeeding support group of more than 60 bags of frozen milk. If you're unsure, you can ask about lifestyle (smoke/drink), medications that they take, and their diet. The lactation consultant made a point of saying not to pay for the milk that it's strictly a donation and that the most I should do is offer to replace bags. I was definitely skeptical at first, but the benefits of having breast milk instead of formula definitely were worth it for me.
