Formula
I am currently combo feeding and will ultimately formula feed only. Currently she eats similac 360 (as suggested by the hospital when I couldn’t get her to latch on right away). She takes similac 360 fine but would like a ‘cleaner’ formula/ingredient list like Bobbie or even switching to goat milk like Kabrita. Again she has no adverse effects from similac.
Have you switched? If so, did you ween them first? How? What are your thoughts about these formulas? TIA!!!

So novel short, my baby‘s gonna be two months on Friday the first month trying to figure out her formula was a disaster. It was really tough. She’s strictly formula fed cause I can’t breastfed.
She was taking Bobbie and she loved it but we had to switch to similac aluminum cause of her tummy issues per Dr. I personally think Bobbie is an amazing brand my baby loved it while she fed those 2 weeks
Also a combo feeder that started on similac gentle. Initially we only supplemented with small formula bottles during the day after nursing. Before switching I tried to supplement with pumped breast milk more than formula to decrease how much he was taking before changing. During that time we switched to regular Bobbie. He handled the transition fine but had pooping issues. Dr recommended going back to a gentle formula. He is now on Bobbie Gentle and is getting much more formula bottles.
I am currently formula feeding and if I can be honest, we go back and forth so we technically are not transitioning... So, WIC offers Similac and Isomil. When I use the WIC I choose the Similac Sensitive. I only truly use it when we've run out of Bobbie or if times are hard.
Other than that he's a Bobbie baby either Organic or Gentle formula.
We've had no stomach issues. He doesn't poop everyday, but pediatrician said that is fine. I just monitor him and his diaper changes. Hope this helps
