My daughter is almost 4 months old. She had formula in the hospital because she was a month premature. When my milk came in, I started breastfeeding and have ever since. Somewhere around 2 months I gave her an entire bottle of formula, not knowing I had to slowly add to breastmilk until she's used to it. She threw it all up, and I never did that again!
Today, I added 1 oz. of formula to a 4 oz. bottle of breastmilk. She spit up a bit, the usual amount & kept it down for about 2 hours, while she was sleeping. She woke up gagging and vomited it all up.
She usually spits up when I feed her, but not if I skip chocolate and acids, and let her settle for a bit between feeding and burping. But this wasn't just spit up, she lost everything, and I know she felt sick afterwards for a little while.
Is it a certain kind of formula? Or can she just not take formula at all? If so, why did she take it so well in the hospital (no spit up)? Should I try formula again at 6 months?
