LO wasn’t eating very much until we switched to RTF

Formula Recommendations / Alternatives 🌱

My 3-month old boy has been combo fed since day 3 due to low supply. I tried him on several formulas (Enfamil NeuroPro, Kendamil, and Dr. Brown’s).

All this time I would nurse him before the bottle, so we could write off him only drinking 2 or 3 oz at a time (usually 20 or less total) to my breastmilk.

When I went back to work he was drinking the same amount! So I was probably giving him very little and he wasn’t drinking much formula either.

I scoured Reddit and found one comment saying their baby drank more on RTF so I gave that a chance. He immediately started drinking more and has consistently for the past few days! Makes me a happy momma. He went from under 20oz to around 24oz. Usually polishes off 4oz bottles rather than 2-3.

It’s expensive but worth a shot to see if your baby likes it better too!
