Which formula is “closest” to breastmilk? I exclusively pump but I’m getting tired of it. I used to pump about 8 times in a 24 hour period and now I do about 4-5 times. Supply is slowly dipping because I cut down. Went from about 1250ml daily to 730ml, and I plan to cut down a little more. It’s very time consuming and my 7 month old is very active so I wanna spend more time With him instead of a pump lol. I plan to supplement with formula. Perhaps 3-4 bottles breastmilk and 1-2 bottles formula. Little one drinks about 700+ ml a day so I know I won’t have enough milk when I cut down. I wanna find one that’s the closest and perhaps easiest on the tummy? Preferably without dairy?

@beakymcspence, thank you so much. Gonna look into this !
@boymom.16, thank you! I’m thinking I’ll have to mix some breast milk because from the sounds of it, formula tastes gross ??
My son is now on homo milk. We weaned from breastfeeding at 10 months and he took to Similac really well for a few months until we went to homo milk. I started by mixing breast milk and formula and slowly reduced the amount of breast milk
@leowifey, oh definitely! I was just hoping to get some ideas and go from there. I trust mamas more than google haha. I’m willing to pay higher cost !
I suggest doing your own research - it's tough for others to know what is lost important to you in your baby formula. For example, I use Plum Organics because it doesn't use corn syrup, is organic, and is very similar to breastmilk. But it's more expensive, and low cost may be important to you. There are also a LOT of confusing and sometimes conflicting studies about arsenic levels in formulas that you need to make an educated decision on.
All that to say that any responses you get will still need to be researched by you, and it may be less confusing to just start with what's most important to you and go from there.
Good luck!
