Is it okay to start formula feeding a 3 week old who has been exclusively breastfeeding?
Q. My baby is 3 weeks old and she has been breastfeeding since her very first feeding. i want to keep breastfeeding, but i also want to know how much she eats! i also pump to give my husband a chance to bond with her, but sometimes it gets hard to keep up the pumping. I was wondering if I could start also formula feeding for a couple of feedings, especially since i'm going to be going back to work soon!

A. I have three kids. As far as I know, you can start bottle feeding a baby the day they're born if you really want to. If you are a believer in breastfeeding, but you are afraid the baby might get nipple confusion with a bottle, you may want to look for a a bottle that has a nipple that is more like a breast. I use Playtex Ventaire Natural Shape. You can buy it with nipples that are good for breast fed babies as well as regular bottle nipples. Every kid is different though.

A few questions about formula and Nestle Good Start as well?
Q. Okay so I have WIC and they only offer Nestle Good Start formulas and they told me I have a choice of Good Start Gentle Plus or Supreme DHA & ARA. What is the difference?

Also my daughter is using Similac Advance Shield at the moment so when it's time to switch formulas how should I go about doing that? Thanks in advanced!

A. Current recommendations are to mix *all* brands of powdered infant formula shortly before feeding it to the baby. This is because powdered formula is *not* sterile; preparing it in advance allows increased bacterial growth. While it is primarily premature and very young babies who have died as a result of infections from powdered formula, there is always a chance that it could harm an older baby, as well. If you want to prepare bottles in advance, it is preferable to use liquid and not powdered formula.

When does the baby start taking more formula and eating more foods?
Q. Someone told me recently that my son, who just turned 7 months, should start taking less of his formula and eating more foods in the near future. Is this true? I feed him food 2-3 times a day along with his 8 ounce bottles of formula about every 4 hrs. I usually give him about 2 ounces of juice as a snack, too. Is this ok? If I am supposed to give him less formula won't he get dehydrated? I am confused about this.
Asked by lysistrata411 - Wed Jan 2 23:10:09 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. A baby should drink 24 to 32 ounces of formula a day. Starting at around 6 months, when he can sit up, he should start cereal, then fruits and veggies a few weeks later. As you add food he starts to drink less, but it should not be less than 24 ounces or back off a little on solids. Juice should be half juice and half water. By a year he can back off the formula more as he'll be able to eat more food and drink more water.

A. before you have "breast milk" you have "colostrum" its a substance very different from milk and very high in immunities almost like a super milk. This colostrum phase is very beneficial to all babies even if the mother chooses formula later. There is more than enough of it to keep a baby happy till the reg. milk comes in.

I am wondering if this is true or not, as I would love to start stocking up now. I only have 8 more weeks, last thing I want to do is stop at the store on the way home from the hospital!!

A. My personal opinion I wouldn't stock up because your baby might have reactions the the formula that you buy and then you are just wasting money.When I had my son I wanted to breast feed but I wasn't producing enough milk so I also had to suppliment. Hospitals usually send you home with formula. Doctors and hospitals don't usually tell you what type of formula to use they just suggest the brand / type that they think is best. When I had my son they sent us home with Enfamil but we now use Similac because that is what our Doctor recommended and he does better with it. If your wanting to stock up on anything I would suggest stocking up on diapers and wipes you will go through a ton of them. Good Luck and Congratulations!
