ok to stop breastfeeding cold turkey?

Question

He's on formula to but can I just do formula or if that to much for his belly? He's 3 weeks and 4 days old. We did Enfamil gentle ease for 5 days he didn't handle it well. Today we did similac total comfort and besides not sleeping to long or the spitting up he's better. Can I just do formula or is that to much on his belly?

Answer

Absolutely! It tends to be easier on their belly when they eat just one thing instead of going back and forth.

Answer

You definitely can stop cold turkey I did with my first, but it is hella painful. I couldn't even wear a shirt bc my breasts hurt sooooo bad. Use cabbage leaves and they tell you not to bind your breasts but I did bc it helped slightly, and I've heard you can also take Sudafed as well but I never did. After about 5-7 days I dried up and it was MUCH better. Also, do not let hot water in the shower touch your breasts bc t will make them leak bad and you will produce more milk.

Answer

If you want to do just formula you can it won't harm him but you have to give him more than 5 days to adjust to a new formula my pediatrician said up to 2 weeks or so to adjust.
