Introducing formula

@Taniya thank you. How much did you offer in the bottle before bed? When he’s only slept 2/3 hours, do you then offer him the breast before putting back to sleep?
I give my baby 5 oz and that usually gives her around a 4/5 hour stretch (usually 9pm- 1/2ish) , I then breastfeed as much as she needs before putting her back down x
I’ve been feeding him kendamil and as per the guidelines i actually feed him 150ml (3 months intake) and he almost ends up finishing the bottle. For night feeds I offer breast whenever he wakes. Last night I actually gave formula just before midnight and he woke up at 6.30 for a feed! That was one off though so it really depends 🤷♀️
@Taniya thank you!
@Holly thank you! Which formula do you offer
I use SMA first infant milk 😌
@Holly does your baby enjoy it? Before my milk came in I gave my girl Kendamil but now she’s tasted breast milk for 7 weeks I feel she’d take better to a formula that’s sweet. I’ve been told SMA and cow & gate taste best lol. She took Kendamil well but it wasn’t so good to her tummy so I’m thinking to try something else
Yes she loves it ! To be honest it’s the first one she has tried and because she gets on well with it haven’t tried any others
It’s been 2 weeks since I introduced one formula bottle before bed. Have had mixed response from it - sometimes bubba has had a nice 5/6 hour stretch and others it’s only been 2/3. It really depends on him and he’s 9 weeks for reference
