Breast fed baby wanting to give some formula
Hello, I'm going back to work in may my little boy will be 8 months old he's exclusively breast fed but I'm finding it hard to find time to express as he's a cat napper and doesn't sleep well at night so constantly waking up. Any formula that I can try that would be great and affordable to try out. I tried hipp organic but I tried to give him it but he's never taken a bottle from me before so might have been that or it wasn't sweet enough. I was thinking of trying ready made ones so I wasn't spending lots of money of powders.

My EBF takes aptamil the best. Just as a word of warning I swapped loads of different formulas trying to find one that worked and it gave her diarrhoea (apparently this is a thing? ) so try one type for a few days to get them uses to the taste. I hate expressing so using a little formula so I can go out once in a while!
I recommend you get started as soon as you can because it took me a lot longer than I expected to make the transition (currently over 3 months trying and we’re still not 100% there!)
Cow and gate follow on our girl loves and we give it her in a sippy cup rather than bottle as she wouldn’t take a bottle after 8 months EBF 😊 xx
