What formula do you guys recommend? I am breastfeeding Peyton right now, but I want to give him a bottle of formula so that I can pump while my husband feeds him. I am wanting to start saving the milk for when he starts daycare in August. I am having trouble finding the time to pump because he nurses every 2 hours and whenever I have tried I hardly get anything. My hopes are to save enough for the start of his daycare and to pump at work. I have bought some Emfamil GentleEase but I am hesitant to try it for fear that he will react poorly to it. What has been the best formulas for our reflux babies? I’m not sure if he has a milk allergy or not but I have cut out dairy for now. Any advice?

you could try Gentelease we are going to try changing to that in 3 or 4 months from now. We are on Nutramigen which is rather pricey, but if you are only doing one bottle/day, it may be a good option. Many moms are on Alimentum which is the same as Nutramigen, just made by a different company. We all use either RTF or Concentrate which are more expensive than the powders. Also make sure you try the Dr Brown’s bottles, they have made a huge difference in Cooper’s gas.

when we went off the alimentum we went to Goodstart. its a really good formula. shane is allergic/intolerance to dairy.. but i wouldnt really have known it on the goodstart! it is broken down whey protien which is easy to digest.
