BF/Supplementing Questions

[Deleted]

Unfortunately this week I have been consistently falling short a couple oz of what I need to pump. I have been supplementing from the freezer. Two questions:

1. Should I continue using my freezer stash to supplement or begin now using formula? If I use my freezer stash I can probably make it to the 6 mo mark on only BM, but then I won't have much extra and then there would probably be times he would have formula only bottles.

2. Any formula recommendations? I would probably be willing to pay for something organic since it would only be a few oz a day. My intention would be to mix the formula and BM.

Thanks ladies...I know this was discussed at some point on TB but looking forward to your thoughts!

I'd probably start supplementing with formula and save my freezer stash. Before learning of LOs milk allergy, i supplemented with Gerber good start for supplementing. No issues with constipation, etc.

I'm in the same boat!

1. I would probably save the freezer stash. I've got quite a bit in there and I split it between home and daycare. It just makes me feel better to know that if I dropped even further I have that as back up.

2. We use: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004SKVWO6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Gerber Goodstart Gentle for Supplementing. We've never had any issues with it, but I'd also like to look into something organic so I'm curious to see what other replies you get!
