Kendamill vs Enfamil Optimum Formula

hey mamas - at 6 months, we started combo feeding. the first formula we used was enfamil optimum. i was so turned off by the metallic smell, we switched to kendamill which tastes and smells like real milk. well we’re at the 9 month mark and i noticed that the enfamil optimum has lactoferrin and am now wondering if we should switch back for the lactoferrin benefits (on top of the fact that kendamill is has such strict preparation instructions). our pediatrician says it’s just marketing. how did you all pick a formula and stick with it?

I love Kendamil, I have to get the goat one for my baby
But I chose Kendamil because they’re held to EU standards. Our FDA is a joke in the US. There aren’t any corn syrups or Palm oil in Kendamil compared to Enfamil and my baby doesn’t spit up nearly as much on it

Never heated it, just used room temperature distilled water

I just use kendamil in normal water, every formula is supposed to be prepared in water above 80 degrees celsius to kill bacteria which could potentially be in formula- it is standard. But we have never done this with any of our formula.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
