11 week old DS (3 weeks corrected) has quite bad reflux. He was exclusively bf however we saw a paediatrician last week who suggested he might have cows milk protein intolerance. I am on a dairy free diet which I am feeling very difficult.
Anyway, we have started giving him Aptimal Pepti 1 once in the evenings and I'm bf the rest of the time with a view to combined feeding. Might go completely onto formula just not sure yet.
So we boiled water, put in bottle, added formula, let it cool. However by the time it had cooled DS was screaming his head off.
Is there an easier way?
If you give formula exclusively how many feeds do you do a day? Should one demand feed a formula fed baby? Why did they feed him every 4 hours in SCBU then?
Do you find a lot of milk is wasted as the minimum 3 scoops is 90ml, last night DS only took half of that.
Can I boil water and place in bottle then add formula afterwards then warm to room temp?
We have a perfect prep but don't want to open it just yet as not sure how formula feeding is going to go.
Sorry if questions are stupid I feel a bit with it all.
