Hi! I've been exclusively breastfeeding my dd since birth (just started weaning onto solids at 7 mos. - 3 weeks ago). I'm going out tonight and will be having a few glasses of wine - maybe several...?!? (only 2nd night out since her birth ) I only have one bottle of EBM in the fridge and that will cover her 10 pm get her down to sleep feed, but she usually wakes at about 1am, 4am, 6am, and 8am for feeds too - I know I probably won't be ok with feeding her myself until 8am at the earliest. I might be able to express a few more ounces before I go out, but I was thinking about breaking down and using some formula as a back up just in case? So, wise MNers - which one? She's 7.5 mos., never touched a drop of formula before, no known allergies...would a few cartons of the ready-made Aptamil or Cow and Gate hungry baby 2nd stage be ok? Age appropriate? And should I tell DH to heat them? What would you do???
(Oh and the reason I only have 1 bottle EBM is that DH was being a help before and tried to microwave steam sterilize some of her toys when we got back from holiday - neglecting to weed out the electronic toys with batteries - needless to say, batteries and microwaves don't mix. A new breast pump and sterilizer later....lesson learned.)
Thanks!!!
