for those that do half and half

candlequeen · January 2015

When I pump, I only get about 3-4 oz. both sides combined, so I supplement with formula to make a full bottle (DS only gets bottles twice a week at the sitter's). Lately, his farts have smelled like rotten eggs and he hasn't been pooping everyday. He seems to struggle with gas, but I don't think it's anything I'm eating...I don't eat a lot of dairy and I've noticed that I need to stay away from citrus b/c that really bothers him. The formula I'm mixing with is Gerber Good Start Soothe for fussiness and gas. Should I switch the formula to the kind for supplementing mothers? or should we try soy? I'm reluctant to try soy b/c I don't think it's a dairy intolerance. He seems to be gassy no matter what I do

any suggestions?

Why can't you pump another time? Or once a day on your days off?

this is what I've decided to do. I'm just lazy and f'ing hate pumping! But it's worth it b/c then he's not in as much pain. He's a gassy baby no matter what but it's worse when formula is mixed in. Thanks for your responses.
