Breastfed baby cannot keep formula down

[yas11]

My 7 week old has been EBF however I’m wanting to introduce formula just for when I’m out just Incase my partner runs out of breast milk for her however I have given her 5 bottles of formula now and she cannot keep it down, the whole bottle comes back out like a fountain.

I have tried… cow and gate, Hipp organic and a dairy free formula all of which the same thing happens.

Has anyone had this with their baby and do you know if they grow out of this?

Might it be how quickly she is feeding through a bottle? Have you tried expressed breast milk in a bottle with the same result?

I was going to ask if she has had your milk in a bottle?

Some bottles mimic the action of breastfeeding more than some free flow standard bottles so could try those?

If she doesn’t bring your breast milk back up from a bottle could you express and refrigerate it?

Does she do it with breast milk?

Mine didn’t - he was intolerant to cows milk so he could never have formula.

As it was, I didn’t really leave him that long until I started weaning into solids from 6 months.

Mine was like this. We had to wind her every 2 oz or she would just projectile vomit it all back up.

Mine did this, no cows milk allergy and took bottles of expressed milk fine but when I sent him with formula to the childminder, he would be sick every time.

I know you didn't ask but I thought I'd mention what helped me with expressing. I found that first thing in the morning with a hot compress got about 3- 4 times the amount I would get otherwise. It really helped me to build a good freezer stash.

A long time since I did this but aptimil was good, the ore made bottles may be better too as a friend said their twins didn't tolerate many types of milk
Try less milk more frequently and a slower bottle/teet too

Are you pace feeding the bottles? How much are you trying to give her?

I have tried breast milk out a bottle and she is fine with that

I give her 4oz and wind every oz

My first DD was like this. Eventually realised she had reflux, wasn't as noticeable with breast milk but formula it was awful!

In that case I’d express and freeze or refrigerate

I whisk to freeze loads of Breast as some women’s breast milk when defrosted tastes different, something about it being thawed

• I wouldn’t not some rubbish about whisking

My son was the same. He was fairly sicky even when breastfed but total fountains when we started to move to formula for some feeds at four months 🙈 He was better after a few months, I guess he got a bit more used to it? Or it could have improved as he was eating more solids by then?
