@devyns2nd Gerber is ridiculous price wise! We use gentle and had to start using gas drops because LO always seems to be in pain with her gas and super fussy. Well it's been 3 weeks and she's ok now with the drops but still fussy. Idk if we should try the soothe or what. Just bought a whole new tub of gentle though so we will just have to continue to use that. I'd hate to switch or try something completely new because I think it's almost worse for their tummy to keep changing. But the soothe is for fussiness so I'm thinking of trying that next and since it's the same brand I think switching might be easier. She eats the gentle really well it's just her tummy I'm worried about
So my supply is crap. Previously I wrote I have a blocked duct. Now I'm thinking my supply is just taking a dive. I used to pump 5 oz between both boobs every 3-4 hrs or so. Now I'm only getting 2.5 oz....... I want to cry. No idea why this is happening. I take a breastfeeding supplement, drink tons of water, and I'm trying to eat more calories........ I could up my protein more. So stressful

Not sure how far out you are, but at about 2.5 weeks, mine took an absolute nosedive out of nowhere for no reason I could figure. I mean, I went from 10 oz per pump (EP-ing) to 2.5 if I was reeeally lucky kind of nosedive. I tried really hard to get it back, and honestly probably could have if I had been more diligent about it, but LO was going through a growth spurt at the time, which lead to no sleep, and I got lazy. Kinda wish I had been more dedicated, but at the same time, I'm happy with my decision to give up the stress.
ETA: I just remembered why I thought I lost supply. I lost appetite and also favored sleep over eating. It came back slightly after I started eating regularly.

2.5 ounces seems to be right on track with your LOs age. My LO is 3 weeks old and I'm producing about 2.5 ounces total. Your body may have regulated itself back to your LOs needs.
Thank you so much for starting this thread. My LO is almost 8 weeks as she was 3 weeks early. She did not gain weight at first and we were back and forth to the docs so much. I tried so hard to breastfeed and pumped for 6 weeks. It was the hardest decision of my life to stop pumping and breastfeeding. I wanted to for a year at least. I feel defeated to this day. It's really hard. I had to do what was best for my daughter and me. We use formula now. Our daughter is pretty good with any enfamil, either gentlease or newborn mostly is what we use. We also use infant if needed. Since she has a little extra gas we use gas drops which help so much. They are by the formula, we did ask our doctor first though. Target has a genetic of enfamil infant and we started to try it. It seems okay for her. We use coupons and I also belong to some facebook groups so I get formula through those. Good luck to everyone. Thanks for sharing your stories. The support helps, I needed it at this time!
Thank you for starting this thread. I never post anything but I read the community page almost every day. We formula fed from day one - I had preeclampsia followed by a failed induction (36 hours of labor) followed by a c section with complications. By the time our LO was born, I had already been hospitalized for over a week and was having daily panic attacks. All it took was one overly aggressive nurse yelling at me about breastfeeding wrong to say screw it. I think it was probably the best decision we could've made but it doesn't stop me from feeling guilty.
AT ANY RATE, LO is now 6 weeks. We started her on similac but it caused SO much gas, vomiting and constipation. We then tried enfamil gentlease, which she hated. Our doctor recommended the similac sensitive, which we use now. It hasn't eliminated her gas or tummy troubles completely, but they are MUCH better on this formula compared to the others we tried. We also tried gas drops but they were worthless.
She eats like a champ - usually between 4-6 oz per feeding (but no more than 32 oz per day). During the day, she goes between 2-4 hours per feeding before she gets hungry. As of about a week ago, she now sleeps between 6-8 hours per night (I know. I'm super lucky). She poops about once a day or once every two days, which our doctor said was totally fine.
I buy everything from diapers.com or Amazon, primarily due to convenience. Sometimes diapers.com will have coupons and there is free two day shipping for orders over $50. Their prices are slightly cheaper than Amazon (I did the price per ounce) but the savings are negligible and the same as our local target (I'm in Chicago).
I'm curious as to what bottles everyone is using. We settled on Dr. Brown's after trying avent and tommee tippee. Anyone try any other brand that helps to reduce gas/air?
We settled on Dr. Browns too. I have a big almost 11lb 2 week old. He was sucking so hard on size 1 nipples and getting so much air that we switched to size 2 and have seen a lot of improvement!
Formula feeding as well! We started out with the Similac Advanced, but LO was having major throw up sessions. The pediatrician had us switch to Similac Isomil (soy) and the throwing up stopped, he still spits up, and is really gassy and not pooping much. He has his one month check up tomorrow, so I am going to talk to her about what's going. Honestly, he's only sleeping at night. He sleeps about an hour collectively during the day. It's a lot of crankiness when I lay him down. He burps well when feeding, but I'm wondering if he could have a tummy ache?!

We started with the gerber gentle because that's what the hospital had and we were also having a problem with gas. I mentioned this to her pediatrician and she recommended switching to the soothe. After the first couple days of adjusting to the switch, we haven't had an issue since. Definitely better! Also haven't had to use gas drops at all, which I was about to start prior to my peditricians recommendation of switching.
Aside from formula... When it comes to bottle nipples, how do you know when to up the flow? My girls will be 8 weeks on Saturday and when feeding it sounds like they suck so hard they smack the nipple while eating. I don't really know how to describe it other than it sounds like they want more at a time. Could this be a sign we need to switch to level 2 nipples and the general "3 month rule" is just a guideline?

Awesome! I talked with an online customer service rep for Gerber yesterday and they are sending us a sample canister of Soothe to try out. For the most part she's ok with the gentle but if the soothe can stop any of the problems we do have that would be awesome! I'd hate to switch in case is hurts her tummy more but I've heard good things about soothe. And I hate having to use gas drops at every feeding for her. I know they are all natural and don't harm her it's just more of a hassle to remember them and if we can find something where we don't have to use them that would be so great! The rep recommended switching out 1-2 feedings of gentle with soothe the first day then the next 2-3 feedings and to keep going like that until fully transitioned. What did you do? You said after the first few days you noticed a difference? I hope we notice a difference that fast And don't have to use it for a few weeks to see.
Visiting from M15. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up about the Similac Sensitive. The first ingredient in it is CORN SYRUP. Our peds doctor said that it's 4 tbsp on sugar a serving (2 oz), so LO was put on Gerber Soothe as a supplement, which also has probiotics.

We use a variety of bottles. It seems that dr Browns work, agent works too. Her favorite is the MAM bottle. Helps with colic and gas. Hope that helps!
@hjdaniels0415 you're the first person I've seen on here who also uses MAM. I started with it, tried avent once, LO hated it, so I've never tried anything else. Everyone raves about Dr. Browns, but I don't want to try to clean that straw!

We use Dr. Browns and love it! She hardly ever spits up, and only burps about 50% of the time. And the straw really isn't hard to clean at all. We just make sure we rinse everything out within a couple hours after she eats and then throw everything in the dishwasher. Very easy. And we got a couple dishwasher racks meant for bottles so nothing falls out and they get really clean.
I asked this a couple weeks ago on a different thread and never got an answer. Can you return unopened tubs of formula? I changed varieties and have two sitting unopened that I'd really like to exchange for the new variety. Any experience with this?

I just ran into this, I didn't have my receipt (hubby lost it, go figure) but Walmart let me exchange it. They wouldn't refund for straight store credit, but they're okay with exchanging it.
Hello! We decided in the hospital to formula feed our DD. I also tried to breastfeed, and had a horrible nurse tell me I was starving DD. I hardly had anything coming out, barely any colostrum. Anyways, we had her on Similac Advance (got it from the hospital) and she had the worst time with fussiness and gas! We just switched to Similac Soy formula after the pediatrician gave us the okay to try and see if it works better for her. It's day 3, and she's had a few dirty diapers, that are thicker and a brown/green color. Anyone experiencing this too?
Also, we tried the Dr Browns bottles and hated them. No matter what we did, DD got soaked in formula bc they would leak. (Just our experience, lots of ppl love them) We used a few low flow bottles from Walmart that a friend gave us, and they work loads better!
Does anyone's LO scream and flail hysterically when you take the bottle away to burp? We only try to burp every ounce or two so I don't think we're overdoing it. She does this mostly toward the end of the day and it's frustrating because it makes for crazy sloppy, frantic feedings...that occasionally end in mass spit up. Just wondered if there is a magic cure for the anger when the bottle is taken away?! Maybe she's just being a little piggy )

That happens with our LO occasionally so Id love to see what people say!

My girls let me know when they need to burp by getting frantic and flailing their limbs. So unless they start doing that, we don't stop them from drinking and we've never had a spitup issue!
So my poor hubby. Usually after work he takes LO and does the feeding and has her the majority of the night. Well sometimes she does get fussy as night and tonight was one of those. And of course after spending all day and night with her I know her a little better and what works to calm her down and what he cries mean. Hubby always just assumes she's hungry which results in her spitting up anything he does give her because she has a full belly already. (Even tho I told him she probably wasn't hungry he went ahead and fed her anyways) Well then he gets super upset and frustrated like other times he has before because he doesn't know how to calm her down. Which ends up stressing baby out even more im sure. But what's irritating sometimes is that when he is holding her he's on his phone or staring at the TV and not paying that great of attention to her. I don't know how to tell him what she likes and doesn't without hurting his feelings. And of course when I take her she ends up calming down a few minutes later. Any advice? Or anyone else experiencing anything similar with their hubby!

OMG...this was/sort of still is my life!!! No joke you just wrote my husbands "after work" story. After a particularly nasty spit up due to my husband being distracted by something on TV I shut it off and said "pay attention to your son and this won't happen!" Anytime he seems more involved with the TV than his child I turn it off. He gets my point now without uttering a word. I'm extremely direct with him.
I knew there was a reason LO spits up while he's feeding him and never when I am so we needed to figure that out asap. So I spent several feedings with my husband watching and telling him things that helped me. My husband told me I was micromanaging him but I did not care. I tried to be as polite as possible using phrases like "this is what I noticed" or "one time I did this and that happened..." I tried to let him know there were reasons behind my methods bc I've lived through it already what with being home with him all day!
It's so true a baby changes a relationship. I feel like my husband is more incompetent than he really is haha. He helps out and more importantly wants to help out and I realize I should cut him some major slack. I never want him to become disinterested. Things will get better but be open and honest in a nice way.
@btm013 oh thank god I'm not alone! I felt horrible but still! He was so upset saying "well help me then!" And getting all defensive. So when I do suggest things he gets upset. Can't win! I feel bad that he feels he can't console his own child though but he gets so upset it worries me for when I have to go back to work and he will be watching her. Just worried he will become impatient and upset. I told him babies can sense your frustration so just try to be calm and comfort her as much as possible. Blah hopefully it gets easier.
Ok lol for the record im not scared of my hubby harming our child. Dear lord it looks like I meant that in my post. Just worried that I can't be here to help him if I'm at work.

This sounds a lot like my husband. It was like this with our first baby too. I thought maybe the second go around he would do better but nope... Still the same. It's like if the answer isn't "He's hungry" he's incapable of caring for an infant. It got a little better at 6 months. And now that our first son is a silly toddler running around the house and talking up a storm, DH does great with him. I finally had to just let it go and realize that infant care just isn't one of my husbands strengths. He means well and loves his children, it's just not his forte. Once I came to that realization life got a lot easier and I stopped being so resentful towards him.
@SarahBaby87 I think I just need to come to that realization as well. He's great with our nieces who are older. I think infants are just all about mom so I just need to stop being so resentful but its hard!!

My LO use to be fine with burping, but now she goes psycho when I burp her halfway through her feeding. You can tell it's an angry cry because she clearly wasn't finished even though I'm going to give it right back to her. I feel bad because I always laugh when she does it...only because I know she's doing it because she is a little pig and is just mad at me because she wasn't done. She constantly swings her arms like she is a little boxer when I take it away. I think we just have some little piggies 8-}
Target has Similac on sale! It was $24.99 per container and I bought 2 and got a $5 gift card. I also had a $5 voucher and $2 coupon, so I technically got 2 for $38. I would have got 5% more off if I'd used my red card, but I had a store credit from some returns I'd made. I think other brands were on sale as well, but we started supplementing with Similac and had some samples of the Advance and he seems to do well with it so I'm sticking with that kind.
@katyertl we did exactly what you just said, switched a couple feedings the first day and a little more the next. By the third day we were completely transitioned to the soothe and noticed the change. The first two days she still had gas but I think that was due to the switch of formula. By the third day we were in the clear and it was so much better! Hope this helps your LO. I know how frustrating it is to see them hurting from stomach pains and not being able to fix it!!! Good luck!
@kaila8 I really hope soothe works for us! Maybe it'll even help her sleep longer because half the time she wakes up she's been straining and grunting so I think she wakes herself up that way. Your story makes me feel hopeful lol
Hi ladies, we're just starting LO one formula (the supply is keeping up with the demand) just wondering how I look after my breast now that we're changing over.

Hi ladies, we're just starting LO one formula (the supply is keeping up with the demand) just wondering how I look after my breast now that we're changing over.

My LC said if you are going to transition completely to formula remove a pump or feed for a few days at a time before removing another. Also, pump/express to comfort in between that skip if you feel engorged.
My husband (cheapest man alive but I love him for it) just got a great deal on similac from babies r us. Currently it's $10 off a purchase of $75 or more of similac. He purchased four and used three $2 and one $5 off manufacturers coupon (mailed to us). On top of that he had $5 vouchers (again mailed to us) he used for each. If you haven't signed up for similac moms club it's so worth it!! In total he saved $41 on four containers of formula!! Edited: also babies r us has a coupon in their monthly flyer for a mickey or Minnie cup with a purchase of $15 or more. Our location is running out of them so they are subbing a free package of babies r us brand diapers (they were seasonal with a sailor theme). On top of that there is a buy one get one $1 so we got two 32 pack of diapers for $1! Not every location might be offering that option but definitely check it out! The diapers aren't bad (and im a pampers lover!)

Stopping completely.
When I stopped completely I used this kind of schedule in the picture. Just start taking away a breast feeding each day and replace with formula. It took me about a week and a half to get down to just a few, once in the am and once before bed. But then I decided to stop doing those too. I never felt super uncomfortable at all since it was a slow transition. I also heard taking sudafed non drowsy works for the engorged feeling and helps dry you up.
