OK. I appreciate everyone's advice and comments.

That's what we did. You could start with a smaller amount and work your way up if she does well.

So I could just give her a bottle with formula in it and see how she reacts?

My sister has gone through about four different formulas until they found the one her son did well on, but he had reflux too.

I think it depends. Some kids have no problem switching between bottle and breast, but some kids will only do one. There are bottles you can get that are supposed to simulate the breast, which is worth a try. And you can try any brand of formula first. We went with Enfamil because it's what his doctor gave us samples of, but switched to the gentle one because he was really gassy on their regular infant one.

I assume you have her 1m appointment soon? You can always ask the doctor their recommendation on formula, and the best way to do it. We just gave him a bottle of formula. The change was instant. After two weeks ofcrying he went to happy right away. We did breastmilk and formula for 6 weeks or so. As for me, the more I pumped (since he wouldn't latch) the more depressed I felt. It got to the point where I was in the closet, sitting on the floor just crying, filled with so much despair. The day I packed away the pump for good, all the bad feelings went away.

If I was to switch to formula. How would I do that? Just give her a bottle with formula or could that upset her tummy. And if so does it matter what formula?

And as long as you're being a mom and providing for your child, there is no shame in using formula. Don't ever let someone tell you you're wrong for that.

@nomli @myssfly Same here! I tried for a month with and just did not ever manage to produce enough to satisfy her. I even tried a nursing consultant, and it didn't help. Switching to formula was the best decision for us. With my son, I had no choice but to switch once I went back to work because it just wasn't feasible.

Its not that I have a problem with formula feeding. My first child had to be formula fed and she did great. I'm just .. I guess I'm bad about second guessing myself and if I do switch to formula how do I do that just give her a bottle with formula in it and what kind? Or can you do both breast feed some and formula some?

I have the same story as @nomli . I tried for a month and the baby and I were both miserable. My nipples were ripped to hell and everytime she latched on she fell asleep so i had to mess with her and it pissed her off. Once I switched to formula I was happy, she was happy, and her dad was happy. He loves that he's able to feed her and bond with her like I do. Don't feel bad about your decision, no matter what it is. As long as the baby is happy and healthy and full, who cares how they get their milk? I am not any less of a woman or a mother because I use formula. ❤💛💙💚💜

It's up to you, what's best for you and your family, but fully switching to formula was the best thing I could've done. Breastfeeding/pumping was terrible for me, and supplementing didn't help. After weeks of struggling, I finally admitted it wasn't working, and felt better almost instantly.

Cosleeping made it easy for me to sleep and breastfeed. Adding formula can upset her tummy more and hinder your breastfeeding if you want to continue. Try babywearing in a sling during or after a feeding and you might find that it helps a lot! Other than that, this is what mommyhood is unfortunately 😂 I haven't slept in almost 2 years now and single momma
