Day breast milk or formula?

I have a dilema, I don’t have that much milk left for my 3 m and I supliment with formula. I’ve noticed that because of the formula he wakes up more frequently and is more gassy during night time…if he gets my breast milk sleeps just fine. Should I pump all day and what I have to give him at night? I know that the day milk has more cortisol and he might be more energetic. Or should I just keep going with formula?

Have you tried different formula?

I feel like it’s gonna be the same, we give him goat milk formula and they say it’s supposed to be gentle with his digestive system. Plus we ordered from Europe and have a bunch left. With my daughter we had so many troubles with cow milk based formula

Is he guzzling the formula as that could be causing the gas? My LG does it so we have to pace feed (which she gets annoyed at)

By 3 months your hormones like cortisol and melatonin aren't impacting him. Can always try different formulas but if breast milk doesn't bother him and you have the supply then why not use it?

@Molly I barely have the supply, I have to keep collecting over the day and at night so that I can have just breast milk at night…but I’ve tried it twice and it makes a huge difference…if I mix in just a bit of formula he is gonna wake up fussing. Had no idea that the hormones are not impacting him anymore, thanks
