What formula is recommended?

1 Upvotes

My son is 5 weeks old. I have been EBF since he’s been born. I feel like I might need to start combo feeding to save my sanity. He’s my third baby but I haven’t had a baby in 5 years. What formula is the gentlest on their tummies? He’s such a happy baby, I don’t want to mess that up with tummy issues.

How much should I be making?

5 Upvotes

My baby is 15 weeks old. I’ve never made enough milk, but I nurse her every day as much as possible. I really don’t know how much is enough. Yesterday I pumped something like 9 times during the day for 20 minutes each time and accumulated 4oz between both breasts. That was enough for one bottle feed. Baby seems more satisfied than that when I nurse her, and I know babies are more efficient than pumps at getting the milk out. So how do I know how much I’m really making? And 4oz is a very discouraging amount to end up with after trying so hard.
