I've been EBF and trying to pump one bottle a day so DH can feed at night. Recently I've been having bug trouble getting a bottles worth of milk from pumping. I'm thinking of introducing a formula bottle for that once a night feeding and to have as a back up.

LO is 4 weeks old today, eats well and has gained weight well. She is however pretty gassy and fussy after eating. What formula do you ladies reccommend?

    We've been using Similac, which we haven't had any problems with. But it's just cuz we had so many samples and a friend gave me hers, that's just what we've used so far. I had a few people tell me that generic is the exact same and 1/2 the cost. For examp

    Using similac sensitive per our pedi recommendation for supplementing since our LO was so tiny at birth. He doesn't have any tummy issues with it. He's almost 5 weeks and almost exclusively breast milk pumped or nursing at this point but if we still need

    We used GoodStart Gentle with DS1, and are now using it with DS2 for one bottle a night just like you're talking. Anything else seemed to upset their tummies. Also, I like that it doesn't have that yucky formula smell. At least not as much.

    We have been supplementing with Targets up and up the one that is comparable to similiac sensitive. It even shows on the box comparing ingriedanrs between the two.

    I use Enfamil Newborn, it has extra vitamin D in it- it's what my OB, hospital and Pediatrician all recommended. I got a lot of great samples in the mail, sign up on heir website (any brand). I signed up with Similac and Enfamil and Similac sent me a f
