Before you supplement with formula, read this article. You may change your mind.

I probable does not choose goats milk because it extremely is robust for you yet no longer as good as breast milk. What i might do is start up introducing Pablum. this is crammed with supplements and might help fill that toddlers tummy giving mom particularly of a smash. this is watered down plenty so which you do no longer might desire to agonize approximately choking. in case you nurse extra your milk will build as much as meet the toddlers needs. I nursed all my toddlers too and there have been days of all day nursing marathons. Its no longer exciting, i understand and your fortunate in case you even get a bathtub, purely drink various drinks and have each thing you choose on a table close to to the place you're sitting. an afternoon or 2 of those marathons and your milk furnish would be suitable up the place it would be.

When my daughter was 4 months old she started pulling away from the breast, so I switched her to formula. I tried all the brands out there and most of them left her fussy and spit up alot. I finally tried the Nestle Good Start after a friend recommended it to me and I never went back, I saw a big difference in her moods after eating and she actually was smiling and laughing after having a bottle (which she never did on the other brands) Every baby is different and the only way you'll find the formula for your little one is by try and error untill you find the one that fits your lifestyle. Good Luck.

None will really be that easy if she's used to breast milk. Try not to give up so early. I know a few women who really regret their decision to stop breastfeeding, I can't imagie looking back and feeling that guilt. I you really have to, try just mixing breastmilk with formula instead of taking all that good stuff away at once!

I started supplementing at 2 weeks, she is now 6wks. We started with Similac and then we to the soy version (she spit up less). I recently tried Enfimil, but I found that when you shake it up it gets REALLY bubbly. I noticed she started spitting up again, so we switched back to the Isomil. I havent tried the Nestle. Hope this helps.

All formulas must meet federal regulations in the United States so as far as best for baby it is going to be a personal preference. I started my son on Similac as I had a sample then switched him to Enfamil due to WIC but now WIC is changing to Similac so starting next month he will be back on Similac. He has also used some generic and hasn't had a problem with any of them.

I switched my daughter from breast to formula at 3 weeks. I use Enfamil Lipil, she's 13 weeks now and doing fabulous. I've never had a problem. Her pediatrician recommended this choice. Good Luck & Congrats!

Nestle Good Start. I mixed both breast milk and formula for the first month, and then went to the Good Start. It has worked great.

I have heard that Nestle Good start is a good one. I had to use soy for my son, but several friends wore by Nestle.
She was not asking your opinion on breastmilk verses formula. She was asking what kind of formula to use. Please get off your soapboxes about breastfeeding. Most babies do just fine on formula with no breastmilk at all! My son was only given breastmilk for the 10 weeks he was in the hospital (He was on a feeding tube due to being almost 3 months early) and he is now three years old and no health issues at all and can already read his own name!

None of them are easy on her digestive system.
Your milk is the only thing that will be easy on her--you're her mom, she has half of your DNA, you make the most perfect food for her.
If you choose to supplement that is your decision, but all formulas are harder on their digestion.

Why are you thinking of suppllamenting her. Im not judging you but breast milk is the best thing for her. I breast fed my son for 3 months along with formula (gave him formula at night so he slept better) and breast fed him during the day.
Nestle is good but try doing both. The more you do it, the better it is for the child (once again, not judging, to each their own...just an opinion)
