breast feeding to formula

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
so went back to work recently and for the first time dd is getting bottles consistently. ?She was exclusively BF with an occasional bottle of EBM. ?Won't take formula at all. ?I started making mixed bottles of BM and formula, and have it now at a 50/50 ratio (with my job I can't pump consistently so don't make enough milk). ?She still won't take pure formula, and I'm getting a little concerned b/c I don't know how much longer i'll be able to pump. ?Plus she's now really gassy and constipated, which means my happy baby is currently gone. ?Any suggestions? ?The formula i'm using is Enfamil Gentlease which is supposed to help with gas and fussiness...

    I was in a similar situation and tried gentlease as well...I had much better luck with Enfamil Lipil with iron. We used to to 50/50 and have now switched completely to formula.

    Emmerson never refused the formula but I did notice a difference when she was on gentlease and she's been much better on Lipil... good luck!
