Up until now, I've been an exclusive pumper. But, I'd like to start giving 1 bottle of formula / day. My pedi suggests that I stick w/ higher calorie types made for preemies. What does everyone use? If possible, id like an organic brand, just not been able to find any yet.
We use Neosure. I asked about using the Enfamil type of preemie/higher calorie formula, and my pedi strongly recommended to stay with Neosure.
TTC Since July 2008. Me: PCOS DH: Low everything (MFI) Clomid with TI x 3 2010 BFN Clomid+IUI+Ovidrel 2010 BFN IVF w/ICSI #1 2011 9/8/11 Beta #1: 2082!! 9/19/11 Beta#2 34,689!! U/S 9/22/11 HR 127! 11/8/11 HR 150! 12/6/11 HR 136! 12/14/11 HR 139! Born at 26w2d on 2/4/2012! After 83 days in the NICU, Adalyn came home on 4/26/12! FET 1 3/2013 BFN FET 2 5/2013 BFN
Our NICU nutritionist approved an organic formula, Earth's Best, to supplement my breast milk. As my milk supply tanked, we had to use more and more formula (I'm only producing 6-8 oz. a day of breast milk at this point, but trying to build it back up), and Earth's Best was bothering his tummy.
So we switched to lactose-free Baby's Only. It's organic but it's labeled as a "toddler formula," but the reason they label it that way is because they encourage breast-milk-only for the first year, but it's still fine for infants who need formula.
I'm actually about to start making homemade goat's milk formula... LOL, yeah, we're pretty crunchy around here.... (this is where I got the recipe from:)
My DD is on Gerber Good Start Gentle. She hasn't really had any tummy issues. In the NICU she was on Neosure, but once she hit month and half they took her off.
