breastfeeding and formula feeding

my daughters 3wks old and i have been feeding her formula shes on her 4th formula now   and she having a lot of health issuses like acid reflux, colic and more I was wondering if i should try breastfeeding her if that might help her out or just keep it like it is?? Shes been to the dr so many time poor thing  

well formula will make acid reflux worse for her. That is one of the reason I am making sure to breastfeed the full year rather than switching b/c Harper has severe acid reflux. I have also had to watch some things that I eat b/c that too can bother her. Also ask for Levson drops for colic that stuff works great!

breastfeeding, if you can do it, absolutely can help all of those things. lots of kiddos have bad reactions to formula (like reflux, colic, allergies, etc).

may i ask the reason for the formula?

Breast is always best!

if your boobies are making milk and you can get her to latch on go for the breast!!

Well I ebf and my son has acid reflux but maybe not as bad as formula fed baby. He doesnt have colic though, try it you never no, breast milk is better

I switched to formula a month after having my son, and had nothing but problems. We never had problems with the breast milk. Almost a week after switching to Formula he developed reflux, and we were having problem keeping weight on him..

I just got my milk in a few days ago, my first daughter i didnt get any milk at all so we had to start feeding her formula.

try to latch her on as often as possible to help bring in a good supply. I always woke my babies every 2 to 3 hours including at night the first two weeks to build up a good supply then after that I let then sleep when needed. And your prolactin levels are at the highest between 1 and 5 am. If you have a pump maybe feed and pump (1 hour after a feeding). Within 24 to 48 hours you should see a difference in your supply.
