I need advise from anyone whose been in this situation, my supply recently tanked and I’m hardly producing and milk( I exclusively pump)so I started supplementing with formula and my son is doing terrible with it, spitting up everything he drinks and screaming for 10-30 mins after the feeding. I tried gentlease and that wasn’t working so we started nutramigen but nothings getting better

All babies spit up either breastfeeding and formula that's what babies do is spit up

Not really not at 5 months maybe as a newborn.

I completely get all babies spit up he’s not my first child but babies shouldn’t be spitting up every oz they are eating.

Will baby latch at all?

@alyssa5792, thanks for all the helpful info! I am pregnant and recently increased my water intake a lot so I’m just waiting to see results. Is it possible to increase my supply while pregnant and continue breastfeeding the entire time?

i have seen a lot of mommas successfully breastfeed through pregnancy. I’ve also seen a lot of mommas say their supply dried up around the 20-30 week mark. If you can get your supply back up...you have a shot for sure. Riding it out as long as you can will only help save money on that formula even if you don’t make it the whole time and of course the benefits of bm for baby. And that bond is like no other. It can be a tough call right now on what to do. If baby is sensitive or has an allergy to something in the formula...it takes about 2 weeks for that particular food to get out of his system. I would stick to the one with the least amount of allergens while you’re supplementing through this right now and see if symptoms ease up. If he’s not in pain when he spits up or upset...he may just be getting too much. The pace feeding will help with that.
If you really want to get that supply back up, if you have the opportunity latch that baby for every feed and try power pumping once a day for a couple days in a row. Just really be mindful of that water intake. New baby is taking from you...breastfeeding is taking from you...and YOU need to be taken care of too. For yourself, them and your other daughter you have to keep up with! I’m sure right now everything I’m saying seems overwhelming. And if trying to continue will cause you too much stress, it’s ok to switch to formula. But if you want to keep trying to breastfeed, go for it girl! That choice is solely yours. It’s not just baby that is effected by all of this. Do what’s right for all of you.

I tried breastfeeding and gentle ease, but the only thing that worked was similac prosensitive (I think. I just know it's the gold lid). If that doesn't work maybe try posting on Facebook milk donation pages and see if anyone can donate some breastmilk for you little one.

Have you tried similac sensitive? That’s the only kind that made my daughter spit up less and took away her screaming crying from the enfamil we used

Have you tried Milky Mama Products they def help to bring up your supply look them up momma! I just ordered the Lady Leche Drops hoping they do work 🙂 i saw great reviews tho

I tried the emergency brownies but I didn’t notice an increase, the lemonade helped a bit and definitely made my milk thicker
