Aptamil vs sma
I had my LO yesterday morning and since having him my milk supply has hugely dropped in compare to my pregnancy (during my pregnancy I would have 20mls per 10 minute pump and now if I’m pump for 30 minutes I have around 5mls) 😭. I exclusively wanted to express and give him that but obviously cannot. The hospital provide SMA breastfeeding substitute ready milk which he tolerates pretty well but my backup was aptamil which I don’t currently have with me. Should I carry on with the sma breastfeeding substitute or try him on the aptamil and see how he does.

@Stephanie it’s really affecting my mental health as well so i don’t know if it’s even worth it now
Your milk won't come in for a couple of days, it's just colostrum that you're pumping atm. My LB had boob for 36 hours just to give colostrum and now he is on mamia formula (which is very similar to aptimal). I had an emotional breakdown when my colostrum supply dropped as baby was so hungry and wouldn't settle, so I swapped to formula and both us parents and him are so much happier

Your milk probably hasn’t come in yet and it’s still colostrum your milk will come in
