Well, switching my baby girl over to formula has proved much more difficult than I thought. She simply will not take a bottle (or a sippy cup or anything for that matter). She drank from a bottle the first night of trying to switch her to formula, but she really hadn’t drank anything all day. But other than that night, she really hasn’t taken anything. After 2 extremely hard days and realizing she was determined to have mom, I went back to breastfeeding her, but she still isn’t getting enough to drink. So I’m trying to feed her and we’re trying to give her formula to supplement. Nothing is working yet. I’ve got just about every different kind of formula in my cupboard and 3 different kinds of nipples along with a sippy cup. We’re hoping one of the combinations will work, but right now I’m not feeling very hopeful. I do not know what to do.
It’s been very emotional for me. Not only did I NOT want to have to put her on formula, but now when for her own health it seems like the best thing to do, she won’t take it and still wants mom even though mom has very little breastmilk to feed her. It has been a rough week to say the least.
still thinking of you and praying for you. *Hugs*…..love you 🙂
Well, I’ll have to find the contraption that I used to help breastfeed Erika.
Sorry, the stuff I used to help her onto formula.
