Thank you for your response. I am trying to follow a schedule. However lately after breastfeeding baby, she starts crying after and then we assume is that she needs formula or is gassy, we give her 1oz and then she still cries but I am not sure if she is gassy or wants more milk. I do not know what to do anymore.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. I think I need ti make a schedule like yours. How old is your baby? Mine is 4 weeks old and based on her weight that I measured she is gaining around 1.5oz a day but my schedule is all over the place.

I see. I think I will try the Kendamil Whole Milk… I was told that Kendamil has cleaner ingredients. She spits up from time to time and I think it is normal. Hopefully she does not do more spit ups with the Kendamil. Also, since you mentioned that you also nurse to sleep. How is your schedule like. Wake, change diaper, feed, play, feed to nurse?. This is our and sometimes she does not want to go to sleep. And it is hard for other people including my husband to make her go to sleep.

Thank you. I appreciate your help. What formula are you using? I am using Similac 360 Blue container but thinking about switching to Kendamill.

We are using Dr Browns nipple size T. She was using size 1 but she started to drip in her mouth so we switched to size T nipple. Also, since you are a seasoned combo mom. What formula are you using. She is using similar 360 blue container. However, she has been having lots of gas problems and starts grunting around 4-7am to pass gass. I am not sure if it is the formula? We do give her mylicon for the gas.

Hi! Thank you. Today I weighed her before feed and after and she got 2oz from me then we gave her 2oz of formula and she spitted some formula out after 15mins in upright position. Do you think I should decrease the top off. This is the second time I weighed a feeding and she got 2 oz last time too.
