We decided to go with something with omega supplements in. Karicare worked well for us but bub never drank the volumes the have on the tin and gained enough. He was on reflux novalac at night to help limit the spilling at night. ]]> Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:47:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40908&PID=1404502&title=breast-to-formula#1404502 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40908&PID=1404077&title=breast-to-formula#1404077 Author: #2onthewayxx

That's great. Thanks, ill ask my lmc about that.
And that's good to know, the formula we are using is novalac which I had never heard of til bubs dad bough it, but if they are all pretty much the same then u I won't worry :)]]> Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:16:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40908&PID=1404077&title=breast-to-formula#1404077 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40908&PID=1404069&title=breast-to-formula#1404069 Author: mummymonster

I know it's not for everyone, but have you talked to your GP/Lactation consultant about domeperidone? I've got supply issues and ended up FF DS1. This time round I was more on top of the situation and am on domeperidone.

ETA - that's not to say there's anything wrong with FF - just someone else I know started in a similar situation with FF in neonates and said she found out about domeperidone too late.

you stay with whatever formula he is on at the moment unless there is a reason to change.

Gold formula are a marketing gimmick.

And you don't monitor how much they drink, you just give enough at each feed so that bubs is satisfied. Breasts don't have volume markers, and so you don't need to take notice of bottle volume markers either.

If bubs is gaining weight, happy and healthy, peeing and pooing, then you have got the balance right.

Listen to your instincts.]]> Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:33:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40908&PID=1404057&title=breast-to-formula#1404057 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40908&PID=1404034&title=breast-to-formula#1404034 Author: #2onthewayxx

My bub was born 3wks early due to my pre eclampsia. Because of this, in hospital we were supplementing his feeds w a top up of formula in order to get his weight up. Now it seems nothing quenches his thirst/hunger except formula so we have decided to switch. However, does any one have any advice as to which formula to use? And how you monitor how much bubs is eating if he spits up quite a bit?]]> Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:24:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40908&PID=1404034&title=breast-to-formula#1404034
