Breast milk to formula

My LO is 10 months and she was exclusively drinking breast milk when I’m at work and not with her along with regular food, but my milk supply has dropped and I’m all out of frozen milk so I have to supplement with formula and she doesn’t like it. Is there anything I can do or add to the formula to get her to tolerate it?

How much has your supply dropped?

@Angeon I use to be able to pump about 16 oz a day plus whatever she had during nursing, now I get about 8 oz plus whatever she has during nursing

@Rayne that sounds like a good supply, Mama! You don't feel like she's getting enough? I usually just pump a little bit every day or use my haaka on one boob to have enough milk while I work

@Angeon It’s literally just enough while I’m away from her, recently she has needed at least one bottle of the formula when I’m not with her, but she gags when it’s given to her

My lo was primarily on breast milk for 9 months and my supply also dropped. We originally tried Earths best formula and she hated it, but then we switched to Kendamil goat formula and she transitioned pretty seamlessly.

Same situation momma, my pediatrician said don’t worry about it too much. since I’m only at work 6 hours, I pump while at work (I get about 2-3 ounces) & give it to her the next day. She gets plenty of food, and purées

If concerned I'd try and mix a little breast milk and formula to help get her used to it. Obviously not a lot at first as you don't want to waste the breast milk if she still ends up not taking it but worth a shot try like 1;1 ratio or something?

When I switched I tried Kendamil formula and my baby boy didn't even blink. Hope that will help ☺️

@Juliana that’s what I’m giving her

My 10.5 month old also hates formula spits it out instantly and cries. My supply has also dropped recently. He’s been getting 3 meals a day since 8-9 months so probably why. I plan on starting him on homo milk at 11.5 months hoping it goes smoothly and he likes it…

Ya Luke hates formula. I haven’t tried that one. Do you just order it online?

@Liz DeWolf target sells it
