Those BF moms who supplement with formula...

which brand do you use and how much? I try to pump extra breast milk to use to feed her in the evenings but I usually need to supplement with about an ounce of forumla. Which brand do I use?

2-3 bottles of similac advance with iron a day. Ped says it's the most similar to breastmilk.

I use enfamil with iron. She gets all of her feeding with formula now except for the morning. She is 10 months old.

when I was, I used first the similac advanced with iron and she would vomit it up after 2 weeks, I called the dr and they told me to switch to the isomil which is soy and just as light as breast milk I was told. she loves it!

Same here. She does really well on it, I used the powder since it's a little thinner than RTF, more like BM consistency. She transitioned fully at 4 months and did fine.
