I know I’m not making enough milk to keep her going. Ive decided to keep pumping and I’ll give her…

She might not even want the formula because she's so used to breast milk...but if she's hungry enough she'll give in. And it certainly messes with their stomach. Youll see a bunch more poopy diapers with formula .

Mix formula with your breast milk little by little till and eventually she’ll take formula 100%. They say to mix like 3/4ths B milk and 1/4 formula then up it to like 1/2 B milk 1/2 formula and so on. It helps there stomachs adapt

I've supplemented from 4 months until about 7 months. I still give the occasional bottle of formula if needed (I'm out and about) and she transitioned well. I breastfeed but my dr says if you're still feeding breastmilk it'll help fight off the constipation that formula can cause.

My daughter refused it the first few times I offered it and when she did take it, it made her sooo constipated, even though I transitioned slowly like @mamabearcait said. It took awhile to find one that worked for her but now she’s okay!

Why do you say you aren't making enough? @princessrose

@scidg3, she’s eating more than what I’m pumping during the day

Ohh okay, you exclusively pump? How often do you pump?

@scidg3, yes, I exclusively pump. And I pump 4 times a day. It use to be 6, but it just doesn’t fit into my life anymore. But I use to over produce so it was fine for a while.

Finding time is difficult @princessrose! Hopefully your stash gets you through a good stretch and as you keep pumping and she grows you will produce more 🙂

@scidg3, yes! Thank you for your support. I might try out some lactation cookies!

They are yummy! 😆😊
