Breastfeeding moms when and how did you give your baby formula?
My daughter is 13 weeks old and I tried pumping milk out and having my husband feed her but she got real gassy and had a hard time going back to the breast when I got home.
This was 6 weeks ago and I am afraid of trying again because it took two days to get her used to me again.
But it would be nice if I could take my son out alone he is 7 and wants to go to a baseball game and I dont really want to take my daughter.
any advice will be appreciated!
I used avent bottles the ones with the wide nipples
My daughter was in the NICU when she was born, she got formula because she was drinking more than I could pump. When she was 6 weeks old, I had to have surgery (emergency), so she got formula for 3 days. She hated it, mostly because she was not used to the bottle. After I went back to work, she took 2-3 bottles of milk every day at day care. I was pumping but taking the milk to day care (not home), one day I worked late so my husband gave her formula (probably around 5 months) she was not happy with him, and crazy to see me when I finally came home from work. Now our plan is to give her formula if there’s no milk. We don’t give it to her regularly, only if we have to.
