formula feeders

Hi all - thanks in advance for any advice or guidance. I’m a FTM who is really struggling at the moment trying to figure out what is going on with our LO. Some info: - She has been formula fed since she was 2 weeks old. She’s on Enfamil A+ and has been the whole time. She showed no issues with...

My daughter was diagnosed with cows milk allergy. The doctor told us to only give her formula so she knows it’s the only option. Also, I’ve seen many people say babies won’t starve themselves. It’s been 11 hours of her refusing the formula. Seems like other people have gone through this? How...

Hello! I have a question about formula stages. We feed our baby, now 6 months old, Aussie Bubs Supreme A2 stage 1. It is necessary to move up to stage 2? According to the nutrition facts, stage 2 has, among other things, 0.08 mg more iron and 0.4 g more protein per serving. This means that our...

I was so frustrated that it was impossible to find the generic of Similac Pro-Total Comfort. It was showing up on the Perrigo website as generic under a number of store brands but you couldn’t buy it anywhere! I emailed Perrigo’s customer service asking about it and got this response: “We...

Website: https://organiclifestart.com/ Products: They offer the two popular European brands of Formula - HiPP and Holle - and claim they source it straight from Europe. They claim to ship a direct from the manufacturer and they are on the Shopify platform which I assume means they are...

Hi, I’m 5 weeks postpartum as of yesterday, currently pumping about 90% of the time, breastfeeding the other 10%. My daughter was born via c-section 3 weeks early to avoid pre-eclampsia, if that matters at all. Since she was born early she had a tiny mouth and therefore had a lot of trouble...

So FTM here, I took my 5 month old to a GI specialist today for reflux and of course they asked me how much she eats as expected but when I told them that she eats 6 oz every 3 hours they told me I was overfeeding her. I’m so confused because she won’t take anything less or else she scream at...

My baby is nearly 5 months old, and always been big! Not really ‘chunky’, but just long and stocky— on the 99.8th percentile for weight on height. Totally in line with where he was born. BUT, I’m wondering about how much formula he should be having. As of today he’s around 10kg (22lbs) and here...

The biggest struggle with my four month old has been the feeding. She has been taking 2 ounces, sometimes 2.5 ounces at a time every 2-3 hours. My pediatrician says that she should be eating more at a time but I really just can’t get her to eat more. I was wondering if anyone else had anything...

Hi everyone. So my baby is 11 weeks old EFF from birth. He just recently started taking 5 ounce bottles. But since he has he has dropped his night bottles to 2.5/3 oz. Typically goes 8 am (5-6oZ) 11 am (5 oz) 2 pm (5 oz) 5:00(5 oz) 7:30 (4-5 oz). Then he wakes up at 12:30/1 for a 3 oz and then...

My 8 week old has been through some changes with formula, we started on similac 360 from the hospital and around 3 weeks she started getting bad gas and pain so we switched her to similac sensitive which worked for about two weeks. She then got sooo constipated around 6 weeks and cried while...

We recently switched to mostly Bubs goat milk from breast milk due to loooooottsssss of gas/stomach pains/some reflux. It has been night and day, but my baby seems starving every 2 hrs with 3-3.5 oz whereas he can usually go 3-3.5 hrs with BM. It just seems like Bubs doesn’t stick to his bones...

Edit 5/8: Thank you all so much for your support, it means everything to me. I got the confidence to start taking steps towards weaning and becoming a happier mom for my baby. ❤️ Hi everyone, My LO turns one month old today. I have been exclusively pumping since the beginning, which hasn’t...

Hi all- my LO has been combo for formula and breast milk for the last month or so. Before that he was only given breast milk- so far we’ve given him similac advance, similac 360 and Kendamil infant. I’ve noticed since we started doing formula he’s had this rash on his tummy- looks like sporadic...

First time posting on Reddit so forgive me if this is in the wrong subreddit. I have a sleep and feeding question for y’all. LO is 9 weeks and EFF. We give him a bottle (4.5 oz) at 830pm and put him down in his crib around 930pm. He always wakes around 1am crying. My dilemma is that when I...

I feel like a shell of a person and am really struggling with the guilt of wanting to switch to formula. Does anyone have any support to offer? My baby isn’t able to latch so I pump exclusively but I hate it so much and I feel like I’m paying more attention to my pump than my baby. This isn’t...

My son is 3 months old today. We’ve been EFF since about 1 week. He still wakes up 2-3 times a night to feed. I’m so tired. I try to pump him with extra food during the day and he just isn’t having it. I thought by now we’d be down to maybe 1-2 feedings. Any help will be appreciated 🥺

Hi everyone. I’m 6 days postpartum and struggling to make a decision one way or the other with respect to breastfeeding or exclusively formula and hoping some wise words will strike a chord for me. Some background - I had a breast reduction about ten years ago and during pregnancy was only...

My nephew recently had his 1 year old checkup and the doctor informed his parents that his lead levels were unacceptably high (4.4 mcg/dL) and that the health department would be called if it didn't go down by his next checkup in 3 months. I ordered a set of lead testing swabs to start testing...
