Alimentum or re-establishing breast milk supply after almost 4 months? email this discussion to a friend?

Oceyana (12)4 years ago

Due to health problems, my dr has put my daughter on Alimentum(hypoallergenic baby formula). She weaned herself from nursing around 8 months old. She just didn't want to sit still to nurse anymore. She had respiratory and other health problems start within 2-4 weeks of the time she stopped nursing. This hypoallergenic formula is fairly pricey. I beginning to feel like I'd rather re-establish my milk supply and pump it for her, rather than continue to pump all of these different formulas into her hoping to find the one that she will handle well. She had none of these health problems while she nursed.

I'm looking for some opinions or a debate.

I say go for it! I would certainly rather feed my baby expressed breastmilk than formulas. He's 8.5 months and seems like he's trying to wean himself for the same reasons...wanting to look around, etc. I plan on trying to pump as long as I can for him. Have you tried any supplements like fenugreek or mother's milk tea to help boost your supply and pumping output? I find those help me!
