This is my husband last holiday before he deploys again and we are visiting our family for over 2 weeks! I wanted to know what is a good formula to use? She has been strictly breastfeed and just wanted to know how everyone supplements and what work for them! I have a hard time pumping but my daughter seems satisfied on the boob otherwise she gaining weight and seems satisfied!
My daughter has no problems taking bottles because my husband feeds her once in a while and we are flying over 6 hrs to visit. I just wanted to know just in case because I am leaving my daughter with her grandparents for a few days so we can celebrate our anniversary.
 
Why on earth would you stop breastfeeding just because you are going on vacation? You'll be taking your breasts, won't you?

If you are uncomfortable breastfeeding in public, tell your mum / MIL beforehand and ask her for support.
 
Why can't you still breastfeed on vaction?

You should speak to your dr. about what kind of formula for her to be put on.
 
i know its hard good you have kept it going ,but i wouldn't suggest formula theres nothing like mothers milk and she wont take to kindly to a bottle and fake milk you better off stoping taking break from driving or traveling and feeding if not well try alfa fa pills help to produce more milk drink plenty of water it should help also if ur going to give formula give half breast half similac until she gets use to the bottle and then ur set just keep trying it until the bottle works cuz its not easy for them to get use to fake real is always better good luck and well god bless ur husband
