Question

Hi guys I am going to be mom of two . My second baby is due at June. I had my first little girl breastfeed until she was 14months.   She is strong little girl now . All thank to breastfeeding . But it was though. She was breastfed but she couldn’t settle cause I didn’t have enough breastmilk for her . So I tried aptamil formula she would settle neither . I have to say it was hard first year. My husband and I were all over the place. So this one I don’t think I will be able breastfeeding the baby and mind my toddler in the some time. (I have leant my lesson 😅)  but I have to say breastmilk is the best . I am hope that I could breastfeeding and use the bottle . I have bought the electronic pump from Avent . I need advice that what kind formula and bottle should I go for ?
(I have try my first one with Avent , Doctor Brown . Nuk, none of them work with her . So she didn’t take any bottle when she was baby)
Thank you very much

Hey!! My little guy just turned 3 months and let me tell you.. we’ve had quite the breastfeeding journey so far! He wasn’t gaining weight as much as my pediatrician would have liked and I noticed he was constantly crying and agitated because he was t getting enough breast milk. So by 4 weeks we started supplementing with formula. We started with 3 bottles a day. I will say he seemed much happier and aettled for longer. I made sure to breastfeed him on demand and always breastfeed first before turning to a bottle. We also make sure to give him bottles verryyyy slowly so he doesn’t prefer bottles due to the fast flow... we used the paced bottle feeding method. The only time he downright refuses the breast is when I have barley any milk left and he’s very hungry, I usually try to feed and ounce of formula and go back to the breast but he usually doesn’t want to go back to the breast after the bottle but you could always try. I think we have a good balance of breastfeeding and bottle feeding. He gets mostly breast milk and about 3-5 bottles a day. Dad gives him bottles while I’m at work of course so that’s why he takes that many a day. On my days off he usually only takes 2. I’ve also made it a point to save all the breast milk that I pump for when my supply plummets so I could still give him primarily breast milk. I know I have a low supply though I only have about 100 oz saved up from the last 2.5 months! And that pumping every 3 hours or so after he feeds! Good luck on your breast feeding journey!! Remember even a little bit of breast milk is better than none and fed is best!

I breastfeed and bottle feed my little one. She’s a strong lil mama. I feed her HIPP formula, it’s a European brand n she loves it. It’s breast milk based n has probiotic. I also pump. Didn’t use any product to increase milk production. She gets breast milk during the day since it’s lighter then formula at night cos it’s a bit heavier. This keep her asleep longer.

We combination feed with breastfeeding as first choice and preference and apatamil profutura milk. We use tommee tippee bottles. Never had any nipple confusion. 
Did you try to increase your milk supply before with water, oatmeal, vitamins etc 
Even thought those bottles didn’t work for your first bubba they might work for your second

Answer

for the first 8 months of life I was breastfeeding and giving formula ( no more than 6 oz a day) to help with my supply. I gave her infamil enspire. at 8 months she stopped taking a bottle and we just went to demand feeding. my supply was okay by then. she is now 16 months and still nurses.
