Breast milk feeding advice

May be worth speaking to a health care professional? Maybe there's something in the formula that he's allergic to and he needs a specific type?

Did you add the formula straight to a bottle of breastmilk? The formula should still be made with water as instructed and then you add the breastmilk to it. (Sorry if I misunderstood what you said)

hi Sarah I made a 0.5oz of enfamil formula (powder +baby safe water). And mixed that combination with 5 oz of my breast milk in a bottle.

Would you be interested in baby led weaning? They eat whatever you eat just in non choke-able pieces baby can hold. I would recommend the solid starts app, you can look up any food & how best to serve & introduce to baby.
My son appears to be self weaning in this way & seemingly only wants a full milk feed to fall asleep now 😭

hi Jocelyn if you don’t mind sharing how many times a day does your baby eat solids & drinks milk? Also how long did it take to develop this routine?

I will look into the start solids app. Thanks!

He’s kind of fallen in with my toddlers food routine.
Baby will nurse in morning so he’s full for our morning outings. (Example, feed at 9, the 20 minutes each side. So we can be out around 10-11 no fuss, by 11 it’s about that 2 hour since last feed mark. Toddler & baby will usually want snacks, offered snacks. Can hold them til about lunch time like 12 or 1.
I’ll offer to my 7 month old to nurse or I’ve pumped bottles too as he wants to be looking around more while eating. Offering milk or bottle before meals so they don’t get overly frustrated during baby led weaning, as they want the food quickly to fix their hunger.
It’s really fun! 🤩 & adorable. They teeth on it too & they love it, helps cut their teeth. & gives them lil self confidence 🥹

Babe will have full nurse for nap time around 2:30-4:30, & offered throughout the evening as needed until bedtime at 8:30. Full 45 minute feed for bed, & he’s asleep even when I join the bed at 2 AM. 😅

Usually your supply drops around 6-7 months…mine did and I was frustrated trying to get my supply up. Honestly Pumping was the bane of my existence so at that time I stopped pumping and just put her on my breast and she was still getting full even though my supply dropped. And also she didnt like purées either. I had to just blend up the food I cooked for dinner she wanted something with seasoning and she ate it no problem. But she didnt start eating fr until 8-9 months
