@karentorres Same! Similac 360 if I had the coupons, but then Advantage Premium 90% of the time. No complaints!

@etolkk123 Yes switched to whole cow’s milk at 1! Way cheaper!

@etolkk123 Just piling on that your doctor is out of their mind wrong! Technically excessive milk/calcium intake can cause hypercalcemia which can cause anemia, but it is pretty rare and really if there is just extremely excessive milk consumption. Between about 7-12 months my daughter was...

@godlovesme4real Lead can come from so many sources - it is possible their exposure wasn’t water (maybe some cheap drinking cup or toy), or they are on a well and you are on municipal water? Hot tap water isn’t great because it can sit in your water heater and then boiling it can concentrate...

@lightning I live in a state that mandates lead testing, both my kids used generic formula, their blood tests have always been totally normal. I don’t think these testing strips can be used for food products. It’s also possible something else gave a false negative. You really should wait for...

@smithleigh That is what my kids ate at 5 months. Sounds normal to me!

@soliderboi50 This poster has only TWO posts, one from a month ago saying the same thing when someone asked about BJ’s generic gentle. Seems completely suspicious.

@l_noel I hope something works out for you. Like some of the other posters maybe try increasing the nipple to see if her feeds improve. Good luck!

@l_noel My baby was born at 9 pounds but also only took about 2 oz every hour and a half to two hours. I think some babies just eat smaller quantities! Hopefully fortifying the formula helps. What formula is she on? If she doesn’t need a specialized formula maybe you can try something...

@l_noel Can you maybe look into a second opinion? I would be cautious of putting oatmeal in bottles because it is a choking hazard. Is there something else that might be happening health-wise that oatmeal won’t really resolve? Are you and your husband smaller and this she’s a bit smaller? I...

@tabbycat11 Yup! When I checked into the hospital for my induction with my daughter they asked if I was formula or breastfeeding. I said formula and they asked if I wanted Enfamil or Similac (they had both b/c they were between contracts) and I said “Similac” and that was that! If you have a...

@tabbycat11 Baby 1: I tried breast feeding for 6 weeks. We could not latch, he lost a bunch of weight and he was SO jaundiced. Every feeding session he cried, I cried, my husband’s anxiety was through the roof. I tried pumping but was always hooked up and couldn’t bond, got frustrated if he got...

@ranked Follow baby’s lead. I believe 3 hours is the max they can and should go between feeds until they are a bit older. My daughter typically averaged 24 oz a day for the first couple of months and was having about 2 ounces every 1.5-2 hours. Now at 9 months she has about 7-8 ounces every...
