Speaking of FF...

Abby has reached a point where she's so exhausted/frustrated/fussy just before bed that either she doesn't have the patience to nurse, or my supply isn't enough.  I'd love to feed her a formula bottle just before bed, but she makes the GROSSEST faces and gags and refuses.  I was once able to get her to take nearly an ounce before stopping, but it hasn't happened again.  Any suggestions?  Would a different brand of formula make any difference?

Try mixing it with breastmilk. Then if you want, you can gradually reduce the amount of breastmilk over time. I had to do this with H and will probably do the same thing when the time comes with A if needed. I should add that I used the ready made formula so I was combining liquid with liquid if that makes sense.

I swore by Good Start.  Their powdered formula smells better than the others.  It also mixed the best for us.  Our kids couldn't take any of the other formulas.

Try a different brand. Bailey would only take similac advanced but when I gave that Bryce he refused it and spit out at me. He took target brand sensitive.

I second Gerber Good Start and mixing it with BM. We went through many different brands and this was the only one he'd drink.

ditto when my milk dried up good start worked the best.
