Supplementing with formula

Kelly

Hey ladies! Are any of you supplementing? I’m at about 7.5 month breastfeeding but I can tell my supply has taken a dip. My baby doesn’t really seem as satisfied when nursing and when I pump at work I’m getting less than I used to, also coming to an end of my freezer stash cause I have to take a bag or two out every week and I’m no longer adding to it.

So I want to start supplementing with formula now to get her used to it a little before I run out of freezer breast milk and am forced to use formula.

Anyone with any experience doing this or suggestions on formula? I have a few enfamil packs and similac samples I got in the mail while I was pregnant so I’ll probably try those first and see how she does on them. Also I read mixing 3/4 BM with 1/4 formula to start is a good idea so it’s still a familiar taste then decreasing the amount of BM.

I’d love to hear other people’s stories and suggestions!
