Pump breastmilk

I had the same issue with my first LO.. I started mixing my breast milk that I pumped with formula and started with a little formula all the way to all formula.

It takes me literally an hour just to get 1 oz

you could build it up but if its your choice not to be careful mixing formula and breast milk my dr. told me not to with my child cause the calorie intake can make them sick so get a dr.s help or a lactation consultant...also mabe its the type of formula your using once again really should be running this by a dr.

Anyway to take the kiddo with you to work? I've heard of more than a few mommas doing that

Or I would get a ton of different formula samples and see which he likes best. I think all formula companies offer samples (or it seems like they do).

Are you hand expressing or using a pump? It might be worth investing in a pump if youre not already using one.

Another thing I've heard people trying is mixing half formula and half breast milk to try to wean them from breast milk.

I wish you the best of luck.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would talk to your doctor about it since you already tried mixing both formula and BM. Formula is gross, BM is really sweet so its no wonder why he won't take it.
