My plan was always to breastfeed but this hadn’t gone as smoothly as I’d hoped and I am expressing milk for my 4 week old alongside formula.
A typical day might be:
Midnight - 90 ml formula
3 am - 90 ml expressed breast milk
6 am - 90 ml formula
9 am - 90 ml expressed breast milk
Noon - 90 ml formula
3 pm - 90 ml expressed breast milk
6pm - 90 ml formula
9 pm - 90 ml expressed breast milk
As a result it’s very noticeable that after the formula feeds he has started to be sick and struggles with wind. However he is fine after the breast feeds.
He is on cow and gate, is it worth trying a formula? different
