Moms who BF and supplement....a question/theory
how MUCH formula do you supplement with and how old is DC?
DD is 4 weeks and gets at the most 6 oz of formula a day....some days she gets no formula.
My theory is that because she doesn't get a lot of formula, it's causing her to not poop daily---like her system isn't getting enough formula to get used to it.
She's NOT constipated, she just doesn't go every day. The days she doesn't go, her gas is more painful and stinks to high holy heaven.

The days I give my DD more formula she doesn't poop as much. Today for example she had no formula and went 3x, yesterday she had 4 oz of formula and only went 1x.
I think BM goes through them easier and the formula backs them up, that is my theory

Re: Moms who BF and supplement....a question/theory
I could have written this myself...DD is 4 weeks old and I supplement maybe 6-8 oz. a day sometimes less and she doesn't poop everyday either..in fact, I had to give her prune juice last week just so that she can go...
if you have any info on this I'd appreciate it too..Thanks!

Re: Moms who BF and supplement....a question/theory
I asked the Ped today when I took DS for his well check. She suggested 1/2 oz juice and 1/2 oz water a few times a day (white grape, apple, pear, prune). She did say that it is NORMAL for BF babies to not go every day but my concern was that DD is SO uncomfortable the days she does not go and the gas STINKS.
She said do not use the thermometer because it is causing trauma to the tush.
