FF Resource s

I wish there were better resources for those of us who have to EFF. Enfamil and similac sites are om but not as informative as all tbe sites for BF. I just cant find any support for EFF.

People say it's not complicated... and no... I guess it's not, but in some ways it is.

I feel like when I was failing (horribly) at BFing, everybody was an expert. Everybody wanted to jump in and help. When I switched to FF, I was happy to be able to do my own thing without a thousand people trying to help me.

Ive been pleasantly surprised that my mommy intuition has adapted to FF. Ive known right when LO needed to go up an ounce. Ive felt great about the bottles we use. I feel great about how he's gaining weight. My pedi gave me a great pep-talk about the guilt I felt about it. We've made it work well for us.

I think when you post about it here, alot of people are really helpful.

How did u know when it was time to go up an ounce? My LOs eating is so unpredictable. One feed she'll take 3oz and the next 6oz and sometimes it's 4oz

Check out the "Fearless Formula Feeder" website. I love it.

What do you need support for? Stick the bottle in the kids mouth, or have someone else do it.

"Support" might not be the best word. When you're dealing with plan B it can be frustrating and bottles and formula arent perfectly fit to your baby. You have to figure it out. Give OP a break. 

For us, LO goes to bed with 1oz more than he takes during the other feedings. If he wasnt asleep after his bottles consistently, it was time to go up. That was my biggest clue.
