which formula is most like breast for combination feeding - for a nine month old?

[rocket74]

I go back to work next week - full time - and DD is still EBF. I have tried to cut down feeds during the day and spacing them out as far as possible so she gets used to not having BF for longer periods. But I will feel much better if I can leave a formula which she will drink. I have so far only tried Hipp organic but this normally gets refused.
My MIL brought a bottle of sma gold to try tomorrow - but if this is rejected what has worked best for other combination feeders?
I still intend to BF in the evenings/early mornings.

None of them are more like breastmilk than any other, I think you just have to find the one that suits your baby.

Tbh I don't think any formula tastes more like breast milk than others (although haven't tasted either personally!)

It may just be a case of persevering with one type until she accepts it. I remember DS was a nightmare going from ebf to cows milk.

They are all pretty much the same. Stick to a stage one milk though, not follow on

Try whatever is available at your local shop! Although I found aptamil gave my daughter constipation because of the iron content. Sma was better (and cheaper) for her. She was ebf for 6 months.

Try mixing ebm in with the formula to start with - mostly ebm with a bit of formula and then up the formula content as she gets used to it. It tastes nothing like breast milk, so it's easy to understand why she is refusing it!

None of them!

If such a thing did exist, there would be no competition.

Being a properly middle class Waitrose-shopping organic Mummy I tried to wean my 10 month old ds onto Hipp Organic, then Aptamil, then SMA Gold ... but he didn't like . He ended up on Cow & Gate (probably the lowest of the low in forumla terms) but that was the one he woolfed down .

don't know about formula, sorry.
could you express some?
ifyou can manage it, you could make a stash for the freezer and your workplace have to give you somewhere suitable to express and store your milk during the day.
