I think I want to start transitioning for various reasons (work, twins on diff schedules, etc.). I have tried giving formula to DS and he refused it and I'm not sure if it was the formula itself, preference for the boob since I was giving it, reflux/colic issues, etc. How did you transition? Have someone else give it? Mix bm and formula and alter the ratio over time?
Re: Transitioning from bf to ff
I started supplementing my son on formula when he was only a few days old, and since he wasn't getting enough from BF, he took to it pretty easily. I did feel like I had other questions about formula feeding, though, and none of my books I had covered it very well. I really liked the information I found in the book "Child of Mine", which is a great resource for feeding over the next few years too.
We did try a few different formulas at the beginning and had the best luck with GoodStart.
