Breastmilk upsetting baby but formula he does well on?
I exclusively pump and supplement with formula.. My baby is 1 month old.
(basically he gets half and half I got really sick a couple weeks ago and my supply dropped drastically and I havent been able to get it up).
He lately has been SO FUSSY. He wasn't like this before. The last couple days when giving him my breast milk he will take forever to drink it and will be crying on and off while drinking it. I once thought it was the nipple and changed it like 3 times. Yesterday I gave up and gave him formula. He immediately ate 4 ounces and fell asleep all good. At night gave him breast milk and once again fussy fussy fussy. Didnt go to sleep til like 2.
Today, fussy again today when I start giving him the breastmilk Ive pumped. Been on this one bottle with 2 ounces in it for well over an hour. Just switched to a bottle of formula and he drank an ounce and BAM fell asleep finally and is content.
Could something be irritating him with my breastmilk? Nothing has changed in my diet other than taking fenugreek (hoping to up my supply) but I've been taking it for well over a week now.
