Girls, we are on a mixed diet. 50 ml of formula and 50 ml of milk (as there is not enough breast milk). We are eating Nanny formula with prebiotics. We have severe gas and the baby has trouble going to the bathroom; I am thinking it might be due to the formula, as I am on a diet and not eating anything extra. Has anyone else experienced this with this particular formula?

No one needs a diet for breastfeeding and artificial feeding. Both you and your baby need all the vitamins. You can give Bobotik for relief. The "tiger on the branch" position, water is a must, and belly massage. Often lay the baby on their belly; it's good for the belly and for strengthening the neck muscles.

Катя Та , Bobotik didn't help at all. Then they started Sab Simplex.

This is usually the case with breastfeeding. Initially, our youngest child was breastfed and had some gas, but it wasn't too bad. When I introduced formula, it became a nightmare. I decided to choose either breastfeeding or formula feeding. We eventually switched to formula completely, and the gas issues subsided.

How can there be not enough milk? I'm sorry, but here it should be about your desire, not just about giving formula. Personally, I do not support mixing; it should be one way or the other, so as not to disrupt the gastrointestinal tract. The idea that diet matters during breastfeeding is a myth. The gastrointestinal tract cannot adapt here because there is breast milk, which is digested differently, and formula, which is more complex and involves different bacteria.

What makes you think there is not enough milk if the baby hasn't gained weight in a month? Babies on breast milk eat less but more frequently; they don't need to eat a lot because food is always available. Breast milk is quickly and easily digested, the baby feels the closeness of the mother, warmth, and protection, which is why they often cling to the breast. The more you feed, the more milk is produced, especially important to feed at night. Formula was invented so that a child does not die of hunger, and it has no benefits. Read about the composition of breast milk; it contains more than 400 components, whereas formula might have up to 20, and some even less than that. It lacks components necessary for brain development, and overall, everything is artificial? In the end, you are the mother and it's up to you to decide what's best for you and your child. Gas and colic can also occur with exclusive breastfeeding without formula, and that's normal until the GI tract is colonized with the necessary microflora and the child becomes more active (sitting, crawling). Often place them on their tummy, do massages, exercises with their hands and legs, but be very careful, and after feeding, hold them upright until they burp well to minimize the amount of air entering the intestines.

I also supplemented feeding up to 3 weeks because I was all nervous, and the pediatrician said "yes, she is hungry" during the one-month check-up. But I didn't know how to supplement feed, she didn't explain anything. They just blurt out anything! But by then, I had already turned to a good consultant and she calmed me down very well. You can indeed eat everything while breastfeeding. But you still have to choose between breastfeeding or formula feeding. You can't really stay on mixed feeding for long. For example, our baby completely refused the bottle at 3 months, wouldn't eat from it at all, when I wasn't there they fed her with a spoon, and some babies completely refuse the breast. I supplemented while I thought I didn't have enough milk. Later, during the milk let-downs, I started collecting 40-50-70 ml in the milk collector. And from that moment, I calmed down. At first, I started supplementing with my own milk, and then I stopped altogether.

Вера , After giving birth, we ended up in the pathology department, and there was a breastfeeding consultant there. She was constantly crying and was restless. We pumped for the first time and it turned out that there was very little milk for her weight. Only from two months could something be done.

Julia , Who measures the amount of milk by expressing it!!! A baby is much more efficient at sucking than you are at expressing. You're just pressing, but the baby has both vacuum and pressure. +oxytocin release during feeding, if you are in a calm, comfortable state. With an oxytocin release, the milk just flows out. For some, milk doesn't express at all, yet their child gains a lot. Only weighing shows if there's not enough milk. We weighed the baby every week and checked the weight gain. If he was gaining normally, we gradually reduced the supplement. But eventually, I got so fed up with it all that I just removed the supplement altogether and just breastfed. A silicone milk collector helped me the most. Because during the oxytocin release, milk would flow into it from the other breast while feeding. And then I realized that there really was enough milk.

I understand your concern. It's possible that this formula isn't suitable for your child due to certain ingredients in it. I would recommend consulting a doctor or a breastfeeding consultant to get professional advice. You might want to try a different formula or adjust the dosage. It's not advisable to make radical changes to your child's diet without consulting a specialist. It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to the health of your baby.
