Formula & Breastmilk

[RitaJS]

i've tried the aptimal easy digest stuff and LO doesnt like it. she was ok on it for 2/3wks and then one day refused to drink it.

She will only drink EBM from bottle at mo, can't seem to get her to take formula at all.

am presuming that you're not bf-ing but just expressing??

sorry if i've missed another post somewhere

EDIT: i just found your post about being back at work... sorry! don't really know what to suggest i'm afraid guess it might have to be a trial and error thing with different formulas (or a lot of expressing ) - you could experiment with the cartons rather than buying the big tubs?

Ive just bought a selection of the little ready made cartons so hopefully she'll like one of them.

I am still BFing but trying to cut down to encourage her to take the bottle, i am expressing as much as possible but i don't generate enough to keep her going thru the day AND to store.

I just don't know what else to do? thinking about rice or soya milk?

Sorry to jump in, DD is allergic to milk and rice and soya milk are big no-no's as they do not contain anywhere near enough calcium. It is possible to get ones with added vits and mins but definatly ask your health visitor first, its not a change to be taken lightly.... Stick to proper baby milk, if she is hungry she'll drink it.
