[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d try pumping as much as you can accommodate on your schedule and supplementing with RTF liquid formula, which is made differently and not subject to the recall. Since it’ll just be a supplement you won’t need as much of it.

If you go with the generic powder formulas, which seem to be a lot more available right now (I just saw a picture of a full pallet at Costco) could you mix prepared formula and breast milk in the same bottle to get him used to the taste? [/quote]

OP here. I’m going to try exclusively pumping and see if that’s better for me and the baby. He is usually fussy most of the day and wants to eat every 1.5-2 hours. The feedings take 30-45 minutes with him super mad the milk isn’t coming out fast enough. Then he will on and off cry while eating. He eats every 2.5-3 hours with the bottle and seems more happy and content during that time.

He only eats 4oz of formula a day. A 24 case lasts us about 6 weeks. I will keep trying the powder but will be stocking up on as much liquid formula that I can find every week to hopefully have enough to last him through a year. [/quote]
