Formula? Need help 🤦🏻‍♀️

Question

I have exclusively breastfed my baby (never used a bottle) and introduced foods at 6 months. Now my baby is 10 months, eating a ton of solids and I’ve dried up. From what I’ve read.. I should be giving her formula if she’s not breastfeeding at this age.... but I’m totally clueless in that area. 
What’s the best formula to use? What’s the easiest one to prepare? Can she drink it out of a cup because she’s never used a bottle?
Thank you in advance ❤️

Answer

Are you totally dried up or just not making much? They should still get most of their calories from formula or breast milk until a year old. All formulas are functionally the same. But they don’t always like the taste. My first loved Enfamil and hated Similac. My new baby... exactly the opposite. Get small containers and try different ones till you find one your baby likes. And yeah, they can drink out of a sippy cup. It’s recommend it anyway as they usually tell you to ditch bottles at a year.

Answer

Formula or breast milk should be your baby’s main source of nutrients until she is 12 months old. Solid food should only be given to get your baby used to the taste and texture. 
That being said, we really liked using European formula, specifically the brands Holle, Hipp, and Lebenswert. They all worked great for my son and he loved the taste. Give it to your baby in the same cup that you use to give her water.
