Formula? Kendamil vs Bobbie

I exclusively breastfed my first baby, and he nursed until he was 14 months old. I planned on exclusively breastfeeding my second, but right now he is 4 weeks old and I'm either breastfeeding or pumping every 1.5-2 hours it seems. I feel like I can barely be a mom to my toddler. I'm feeling extremely guilty and sad about it, but I think I want to supplement with a couple bottles of formula a day, maybe even just starting with one bottle overnight. I'm getting no sleep right now. That being said, I want the best formula for my baby! It's important to me that it's close to breastmilk and doesn't have any harsh or bad ingredients. I've come down to Kendamil or Bobbie. I've heard goat milk formula is even closer to breastmilk. Anyone have experience with these? If so, which do you use? How has it been?

I loved Bobbie… when I used it we were still dealing with formula shortage so I liked the convince and peace of mind. Kendamil was my #1 but I went with security and chose Bobbie- which was good bc many times I saw Target was out of Kendamil. My boy is now 2.5 and thriving lol

My baby isn’t born yet and I truly based my formula decisions off the consumer report just to be on the safer side. I landed on Bobbie!

Similar to Patty. I ended up loving Bobbie more. We had less spit up with it and I felt it mixed better overall. Here’s a referral code if you wanted to give it a try (https://referral.hibobbie.com/samantha25rdr) We no longer get the referral perk due to weaning off of formula and canceling our subscription but you’d get $30 off your order! I hope you find a formula you love! Also, I know the guilt you’re feeling. It’s an impossibly tough decision but if it’s best for you and your babes will have a happier mama, you’re making the best choice for your family ❤️

I use Kendamil and it’s been so easy for baby to digest. The hospital gave Enfamil and that was HORRIBLE. I did breast during the day and formula at night to keep her fuller from day 1. We don’t have Bobbie in Canada so Kendamil would be the top for us!!

Currently on Kendamil goat and love it. No spit up or gas. I also was doing 50/50 bottles with it and breast milk also with no issues for a few months. The shortage would be my only complaint. I have been getting lucky so far to be able to order a couple cans here and there online to where I haven’t ran out yet. Good to know bobbie is a good choice if that becomes an issue

My 4 month old had horrible reflux and spit up constantly on regular formula so we switched to Kendmil. He’s been on that ever since and barely spits up and is doing so well. It’s great on his little tummy. We love it.

I'm aligned towards Kendamil too, as I want ready to feed bottles in the initial months. I'm contemplating been Hipp n Kendamil. Any suggestions?

Thank you everyone for your responses!! ❤❤ I truly appreciate it!
