Formula Help!

Hi mommas ! i have been strictly pumping and giving to baby . i’ve been sick so i wasn’t feeling good enough to pump fully so my parents wanted to let me sleep and gave my baby formula. my baby then threw everything up which led to his throw up to turn from white to greenish color . since then my milk supply has dropped and im now thinking i need to find a formula that would substitute his feedings since my supply isn’t enough for him ! i’m 3 months postpartum, and i also don’t drink cows milk which the doctors said may be an issue. ( he may be allergic or he may be lactose ) i have an appointment today to see what i should do , but i also would like to hear you guys recommendations! thank you !

Which is very similar to breast milk

All I can say is, I can definitely see what the issue happened. Randomly giving a baby something they’re not used to can cause that. My baby drinks Similac advance and was never breast-fed and then on a random day I decided to get some Similac soy milk because I ran out and he vomited like the whole bottle. it scared me and my doctor said it was best to just kept him on the same source of milk he’s use to. I think it’s great that you have your appointment today and I hope you get good news from the doctor!

Power pump for a few days and pump everything 2-3 hours. Your milk supply should return to normal

I use soy similac my baby is lactose intolerant

I use similac gentle comfort. My baby had such upset stomach when he was around 2 or 3 weeks then switched to the gentle formula and he’s been doing good since.

Talk to the pediatrician about a soy based formula

we switched my girl from similac, to enfamil neuro pro to dr browns gentle ease, now she’s on Bubs goat milk & it’s made a difference!!
You could do soy based formula if you suspect he has an allergy or intolerance to cows milk/dairy, or you could do goats milk!

When did you cut your baby’s hair for the first time?

My little boy is 14 months old, and has gorgeous curly hair, but it’s starting to get quite long in the back. He has a natural baby mullet going on 😂
I don’t want him to lose his baby curls, but I also don’t want him to have a scruffy rat tail 🙈
When did you get your little one’s hair cut for the first time?

4 week old tomorrow

Second bubba my first was completely different. Tips to get newborn to sleep at night in next to me, I’ve tried everything she just wants to latch on all night(breastfeeding) I’ve tried white noise, rockit zed, sleep sack, swaddle ect. I don’t like co sleeping it makes me feel uncomfortable and also due to loss of 4 year old.

Washing clothes

When do we stop washing new clothes before baby wears them?

Bath

How are we bathing our babies now that they are ALOT larger and more wriggly than when they were first born? I currently use the bath in the picture, but my girl now sits independently and keeps wriggling and sitting up and nearly falling out of this now. What's everybody using now? Unsure what the best upgrade is and what is available? Shes still wobbly when sitting so would hate for her to not have anything in case she flops over and bangs her head in the bath. TIA

Routine?

Have people got their 4+ week olds in a sleep/eat/awake routine yet or just winging each day?

Marriage problems

I have a 7 month old baby and me and my husband are first time parents. We’re both always stressed and I’m dealing with ppd and ppa. We’re are constantly bickering which turns into fights at least 3 times a week and I’m so tired of it. I’m hoping this is just a rough patch and things will get better but sometimes I think about leaving him and now I can’t get that idea out of my head. Has anyone else gone thru major relationship problems after having a baby?
