Hi, I have an 11 week old ds2. He has been EBF. At about 5 weeks he started showing reflux symptoms, so I cut out dairy from my diet. About 8 days later his reflux symptoms disappeared, so that was great. I take a good breastfeeding vitamin with I think 80% rda calcium and 100% vit d, and have rice milk fortified with vit d and calcium in cereal and tea. I would like ds to be able to be able to have a bottle once in a while, mainly so I can spend some one on one time with ds1 who needs a bit of my attention I think. I have tried to express but it takes me three goes to get 5oz, I just don't seem to have the time (or enough excess milk) to do this. I tried aptamil comfort formula once, and the next day ds2's reflux symptoms came back. So, what I'd like to know is whether you think it would be ok to try ds2 on a bottle of sma lactose free tomorrow morning, and go to the baby clinic on tues afternoon to update the dr with what I'm doing and check I and ds are getting enough calcium.
I'm figuring that:
a) he's almost completely breast fed apart from the odd bottle here and there
b) as you can buy it over the counter it must be safe.
What do you think?
