6+ months - supplementing w formula

[Deleted]

This is a cart before horse situation.

I don't want to bf DD past 6 months. I know I don't produce enough to EP. So I'm planning on supplementing with formula.

My question is - how much formula? She will drink small bottles so does the formula quantity match or increase? I know ff babies take bigger bottles due to fat content.

I'm going to start pumping and freezing more so hopefully I can supplement w that and this won't be an issue.

If you switch to formula, you will have to give bigger bottles. Just follow your baby's cues.

I do have to say, though, that breastfeeding just gets easier with time, at least for me. Quitting at 6 months would have been messy.

Thank you for that . I'm really trying hard to take it day by day. I really don't like to bf. like you said, I have heard the second 6 months make the first worth it so I hope this is the case for me too. I hate pumping but don't want to go to 100% formula so well see!

Hang in there Jenny!

If you're pumping multiple times per day remember you can store the parts in the fridge between sessions & wash once a day. I'm not a big fan of pumping either. I try to take advantage of the forced break times & relax for 15 minutes
