Mine absolutely hated it!! I felt so guilty to start with! Originally we were advised to change it slowly but then it was so bad they said to try cold Turkey and after a few days she was so much better! So I guess it’s a bit of trial and error 🥹 but you got this mama!!
@Maisie I have completely dried up, we initially started giving her 1 formula feed a day and then 2 months ago, but she started having really bad stomach pain and dr advised to start at 6 months again with lactalose 2 times a day. But then I completely lost my supply shortly after and had her in my frozen stash until now. It’s so distressing having a baby out of their norm 🙄 Hopefully in a couple of days this should get easier xx
I know it’s so awful when you see so many other babies who seem to be so much more ‘normal’ and straightforward but I promise you it’s not all like that! We’ve had so many struggles with colic and CMPA and immaturity but it will get better and I know that! But try not to get yourself down about it!! Feel free to pop me a message if you ever want to chat ❤️
Just to mention that you don’t know how many calories your breastmilk contains. It could be a large amount of milk but minimum calories or the other way around or something else. Just go by her appetite. If she wants food, she will have food. Unless there’s some brain issue, babies want food, there’s no mental complexity to it. So eventually she will have formula. Don’t pressure her as it can result in bottle aversion
Are you able to pump any more milk? It’s easier to slowly transition feeds over to formula starting with 1 more bottle swap per day x
