DS not gaining on breastmilk alone and we are going to start supplementing with formula after each feeding. Which formula is your LO on and why did you choose it? THanks!
We have used similac advance and enfamil lipil with iron with Kelsey (also with Teagan) and have had no problems with either one. Both were recommended by the pedi.
Similac advanced. It is supposed to be most like breast milk. And we had some free samples when we started supplementing and my son has done very good on it since.
Similac Sensitive, we started out with Advanced and he was very gassy and spitting up a lot and not gaining so we put him on Sensitive and he has been great ever since
Similac Isomil (soy). We tried Enfamil, Gentlease, and Similac Advance and DS was a fussy, gassy mess on all of them. So we are on soy since soy is supposed to be gentler. If he didn't have problems, we would have gone with Similac Advance.
We started out supplimenting the BM with Enfamil Lipil as we weaned off the breast milk and to full Enfamil, DD had major tummy trouble (rumbling, extreme spit-up, etc) so the dr suggested switching to SImilacEarly Shield. That caused major gas problems so we are now on SImilac Sensative and loving it.
