My daughter is 4 1/2 months and I've just started her on solid foods. She eats cereal once a day and I have been pumping and mixing the cereal in with the breastmilk. The trouble is my baby nurses every 2 hours, so it is hard for me to get much milk out through pumping in between feedings - what ends up happening is I pump, and then she is hungry soon after and there is not much milk in my breasts...she pulls off quickly and is frustrated. So, today for the first time, I mixed 1 and 1/2 oz of formula in with her cereal. Is it bad to do this? I feel really crappy about it. I dont know if I am just being stupid about it. I just dont want to give her formula. I thought about mixing with juice, but I read that you should wait till 6 mos for juice. Should I just suck it up and pump or should I go with the formula? Or should I mix it with water? Let me know what you think! THANKS!!!
