Formula options?

My breastmilk seems to be dropping in supply and I’ve tried a few different ways to get it back on track but doesn’t seem to be working. I want to give combination feeding with formula a go and am wondering what brand is best recommended? Also would like tips/advice on combination feeding from others who have given it a go. Thanks

My girl loves little oak. I would offer formula warm to about 40degrees. My girl wouldn’t drink a bottle unless it was warmed

Aptamil gold does sachets! We found them at woolies when we started combo feeding and it saved us wasting half a tin of formula when it expired and we hadn't used it all. We are now exclusively formula feeding and he is still using the same stuff, just in the tin. I did the math and the sachets don't cost any more than if you bought the same amount in a tin

We combo feed due to low supply. My advice would be always breastfeed first, and then top up with formula if your LO is still hungry. We used to offer 60mls but it's now much more than that. Alternatively, pump while your partner gives the bottle. There's lots of ways- find which works for you!

We are on formula only after 4 months combo feeding. Been on Mumamoo the whole time and had no problems. From Chemist warehouse. My girl just has room temp water so it’s super easy.

@Tabitha oh cheers for the tip I’ll start with sachets and see how we go. Thanks

@Kathryn thanks heaps will give it all a go

@Amanda I’ve actually heard good things about Mumamoo so might give that a try. Thanks
