I am sure this has been discussed before, but cant find it . . .but i need some experienced advice!
I am going back to work 4 day week in Feb and will not be expressing, so need to move Catriona on to formula. What is the best way to do this - e.g. should i start introducing one formula feed a day and building it up? How and when should i do this? Also, will it be possible to keep enough supply so i can do a morning and evening feed when i am working and she just has the formula in the day? Finally, what are your recommendations for brand of formula? She isn't a big eater, and puts on weight healthily, but slowly ------------- |

Start with one bottle per day and increase it every few days and do it in the morning incase Catriona has a reaction of some sort. We use Karicare so I can vouch for that but have not tried any others.
supply and demand for the bfing remember so if you feed in the morning and evening you should be fine for supply. Hope that helps  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

thanks for the reply Jeanna - tried her on a formula bottle and she seemed to enjoy it more than my milk  ------------- |

Cheaky little Monkey.
Sue we are on S26 plain, following advice from many others on here!! We were on Karricare gold, but found this was too much for him and he got really bad wind, so my only thing would be maybe avoid the gold formulas.
