For breastfeeding mommies...

I've breastfed only because it was the most important thing for a preemie to have in my opinion for antibodies but he is now almost 3 months old and I was wondering... Could I switch to formula part time? Like formula during the day, breast milk at night? Also..Is there any organic formulas? Or a formula specifically for high risk or premature babies?

thats what i did, when my daughter turned 3 months i started givin her a little formula during the day nd breastfed only at night bt now my daughter is majority on formula.

im not sure about the formulas, i know there is organic formula tho. i use nestle good start, gentle plus. it helps them digest it easier. - well thats what its made to do.  

that will seriously hurt your supply, and some babies can't get past the taste if they are use to breast milk.

Quoting LiveLaughLove{EBFB):“ that will seriously hurt your supply, and some babies can't get past the taste if they are use to breast milk.”

yeah my supply went down so thats why i pretty much just went to formula, but my daughter was satisfied for another 2 weeks but i just kept pumping and that helped.what i did was mix the formula and breastmilk together, to start out i did like 1oz formula nd the rest breast, then 2oz formula, so on so on.

if you give formula your supply will diminsh a ton, and you prob. wont be able to bf even if you watned to at night.


why do you want to switch to formula? organic is over 30$/can. why not pump?

That's stupid.. just breastfeed.. it's better.

I would just keep BFing
