switching to formula

I have been ebf, lo is almost six months. I am having a hard time pumping often enough to keep up with demand. Today dh gave her formula, is this ok? Is it going to confuse lo going back and fourth between bm and formula? What formula do you use for a six month old?

Re: switching to formula

  • We sometimes supplement with formula because I'm not able to pump quite enough to keep up with LO. We use Similac Sensitive. DD has no problem switching from breast to pumped milk to formula.

  • We have been supplementing for awhile too. DD had no problem with it at all. We use Enfamil.

    We've been supplement since a month after DS was put into DC. He gets about 50/50 milk & formula while at daycare, he's done fine. We use enfamil gentlease.
