Formula for BF baby

4 replies

ThatGutsyHedgehog · 29/06/2024 21:27

Has anyone got any recommendations for formula preferred by breastfed baby?
DS has been EBF for 5 months and refusing a bottle. We’re introducing a sippy cup and would like to try formula in this to save me expressing (will still mostly be BF)

Thank you!

We used kendamil when DC went from ebf to formula as I’d read that it’s the closest to breast milk. No issues with it and it doesn’t have the same awful smell some formula does!

We also did Kendamill when we started introducing it at about 6 months.

It took a while, starting with literally one ounce and a lot of wasted milk! But we got there in the end.

We tried in a sippy cup initially as DC was 6mo but it took a lot of perseverance to get them to accept anything and eventually we managed with a mam bottle. We then changed to a 360 cup at 12 months and open cup by 18 months as I was keen not to have them getting attached to the bottle!
