Baby won't take formula milk! HELP

[prickyslime]

Hi Guys, 1 year old and 4 months na si baby at we planned switching him to formula milk because of my depleting milk supply. Nag-aalala ko kasi parang ang gaan na niya. Pinag-sosolids narin naman namin siya, pero nag-aalala ko kasi baka kulang na siya sa calcium.

Nirecommendan kami ng pedia nya ng list ng mga formula milk na pwede sakanya, ni-try muna namin yung Gain, ayaw niya. Kahit ilagay namin sa sippy cup or bottle, wala padin. Itinatapon nya. Sobrang frustrating na, kasi lumalapit siya sakin, naghahanap ng breastmilk , so ang nangyayari di ko nalang ipapa-inom yung milk. Nasa-sayang lang.

Any tips para madisiplina si baby uminom ng formula milk? Di ko na talaga alam gagawin ko 
TIA

^ sis, sa pagkakaalam ko, pag 1yo na si baby, pwede na yung fresh milk or almond milk or soya milk instead na formula. Matamis din kasi ang formula e..

10 months na din baby ko and i wanna make him drink formula para by 1 eh weaned off na siya sa breast. Kaso ayaw talaga. Wonder how some babies can easily transition from breastmilk to formula.

Are you a stay at home mom too? I am, feeling ko pag 3 days ako wala sa bahay at gutom na gutom siya baka mag formula na si baby kaso i still couldnt find the heart to do that.

@bagaholic_chewy- Hi sis, yup. Pina-inom ko siya dati ng fresh milk. Pero tikim lang, sa sippy cup ko lang nilagay. Pero di inubos. What brand ba ng fresh milk [textspeak!] pwede sakanila? Nestle ata [textspeak!] pina-try ko nun sa kanya, pero not sure if non-fat yun or what.

@vain_kixie- Hi sis, yep same here. Stay at home mom din ako. Gusto ko na i-formula si baby kasi sobrang onti nalang talaga ng milk supply ko.. at want ko nadin kasi mag-work. Kaso yun nga nahihirapan ako tiisin siya na magutom para lang [textspeak!] formula ang inumin niya.

I had him drink formula and si yaya ang nagbigay for his first feeding of the day. So dapat gutom na gutom yan from his 11 hours of nightime sleep, but nope, didnt take even half an ounce. He drinks his water well from a straw cup or sippy cup pero pag formula na, he wouldnt swallow and just let the formula drip to the sides of his mouth.

^^ based sa nabasa ko sa BFP, any brand ng fresh milk. Basta full-cream dapat. Hindi yung low-fat or non-fat variety kasi toddler needs the fats pa. Hehe..

Next week i'll try out giving fresh milk to my daughter na. Pero baka once a day lang muna. I'll continue to pump pa din as long as meron pa akong breastmilk. Then eventually, pag nasanay na sa fresh/soy/almond milk si baby e mawi-wean ko na sya sa daytime.. yung sa pagtulog feeling ko di ko pa sya matatanggihan muna. We sleep in the same room kasi, yung cot nya naka-attach sa bed namin so magkatabi kami matulog..

[vain_kixie]

Ako din I dont wanna give up (yet) yung feed before he sleeps. I like nursing him before he sleeps too eh. I can prolly continue that till he's a year and a half or even two. Yung afternoon feeds lang sana mag formula na siya. Ang hina na din ng supply ko to pump, pang direct nalang ako lately. Pero i believe what i have is what he needs. Di naman kulang or anything.

Same pala tayo mga mommies. Ni-fifeed ko padin si baby hanggang sa pag-tulog eh. Nasanay narin siguro siya. Post kayo updates ha, kung paano na-train si baby nyo if ever nag-try kayo mag-bigay formula, please! Thanks.

So yesterday i left and may 1 feeding siya na wala ako sa house. Yaya made him drink formula. Nakainom naman daw ng konti but wouldnt drink it from the bottle. Sa cup daw siya ng drink ng 1 oz. Pwede na than nothing. I guess kailan ko lang siya sanayin.

[nikki]

I had this prob too with my eldest sa case niya, we had to warm the formula milk before giving it to him. Nung una Kasi, room temp. So Ayaw niya since maybe because pag direct feeding and expressed milk eh warm siya. That's one tip and it made a difference sa case ko.

Sa bunso ko naman, he totally refused drinking from bottle when he was around 2-4 months so I had to experiment on different feeding bottles until eventually he settled for medela and playtex. He takes formula throughout the day but directly feeds from me all night. I wanted to wean him off and give him bottle at night  but he refuses talaga. Over the last 3-4 months, 3 times Lang ata siya pumayag. 

My first boy stopped taking milk at night when he turned 1yr and 4mos.  I am hoping my bunso will sleep through na and stop feeding at night na lang. He is 1yr and 2mos

Hi Mommies,

Last week, ni-try namin i-feed ng formula si baby (gain), kahit ilagay sa sippy cup at bottle ayaw niya talaga. So, no choice ako. Nauuwi lang sa pag-breastfeed at nasasayang ang tinitimplang milk.

Di ko matiis na nagwawala siya eh. Iyak ng iyak!

May panibagong prob nanaman ako, nag-iipin siya at nag-sugat sugat yung nipples ko.
Gumaling na yung sa right (yun panaman yung pinaka-madaming supply ko nang milk kaso mukhang umonti na siya kasi may sugat siya nung nakaraan, kakagaling lang), yung left ko naman ngayon halos
di ko mapa-feed the whole day dahil super lalim ng sugat..
Anyone who has the experience? Paano ginawa nyo? T_T Share please, i'm at my wits end ..

You have to teach baby not to bite. Sabihin mo painful then cover your boobie. Baby will eventually get it. My baby was 4 months old when his first set of teeth grew, 3x-5x ko lang sinabi and never naman niya ako kinagat ulit. He has 8 teeth now going on 10.

Finally my baby is taking formula na although mga 3oz lang sa bottle. What i did was pinapatimpla ko si yaya and i let him drink it using a straw or sippy cup while eating so parang as juice/water/beverage. He eventually got used to the taste. Although mas type parin niya yung water.

For the past two days, yung last feeding of the day, i give him mga 3 to 4 oz of formula and mga 2oz lang nauubos niya. He removes the bottle and latches on to me. Nako sis mga 4 cans ata ang natapon ko na formula. Timpla then sip a little si baby then tapon kasi ayaw niya talaga. Mas nahirapan pa ako mag formula kesa sa mag breastfeeding.

Pasali sa thread.

Yung anak ko rin ayaw ng formula mapabote o cups. Kahit tubig pahirapan pa. Since 6 mos. old sya, sinubukan ko ng bigyan ng formula, kaso ayaw.

Nagtataka ako kasi nung first several weeks nya, nakakainom pa sya sa bote. CS kasi ako kaya mahina yun labas ng breastmilk kaya may supplement na formula. Pero nung ok na supply ko, itinigil ko na rin formula.

Nun 6th month nya, start ko na syang bigyan ng solids, try ko yung formula- ayaw ng uminom.

Ngayon mag 10months na sya, ganon pa rin. Halos mabili ko na lahat ng klase ng bote at sippy cups, sinubukan ko na rin gamitin yung cups na usual na ginagamit namin wala pa rin.

Sinubukan ko na rin iba't ibang klase ng formula (regular, soy based, hypoallergenic) ayaw talaga. Kahit expressed breastmilk sa bote/cups, ayaw rin. Ginawa ko an rin yun part formula/part breastmilk or formula w/ a splash of juice, di pa rin. Kailangan straight from breast nya makuha.

Dami ko ng naaksayang formula na di naubos within 1month, buti na lang nun umpisa nabigyan ako ng doctor ng 3 free formula tubs tas meron rin mga freebies/coupons na nakuha ko sa mga formula manufacturers nun nag sign up ako sa baby clubs.
Nakakapanghinayang lang talaga.

SAHM rin ako, gusto ko na rin mag work sana kaso ang hirap iwanan si baby kasi ayaw uminom.

Ganyan din baby ko before sis. I used to give expressed milk when he was younger and he took it fine pero tinigil ko so i guess nakalimutan na niya, or i mas nasanay nalang siya sa breast. Nung nagka yaya na ako and i told her to make him drink formula kahit na 1oz lang at a time. Nilagay sa sippy, niluluwa. I just kept on trying as in 4 or 6 cans ata ang natinpla ko and natapon lang. He is now taking mga 2-3 oz at a time. It is already a great improvement. Offer him 1oz at a time to let him get used to the taste. Everyday dapat, you have to be consistent.

[nikki]

agree with sis ^  - ganyan ata talaga, magastos haha.  my bunso eventually got used to formula and bottle.  basta consistent na bigyan siya everyday.  he will eventually get used to it for sure, both bottle and formula.

[prickyslime]

Baby ko din formula siya before nag-direct feeding sakin nung pagka-panganak ko, CS din kasi ako. Pero nung okay na supply ko, nagbf na ko sakanya. kaso ngayon, ni-rerefuse padin yung formula.

btw, kagabi sinubukan namin siya bigyan ng fresh milk sa sippy cup. Ni-refuse padin niya, so ginawa ko
inalis ko yung takip, parang ginawa kong cup lang talaga. Umiinom naman siya pero onti lang.

[bagaholic_chewy]

My baby is almost 13months so i started giving her fresh milk na as beverage. Ok naman, umiinom sya after meals. But she won't drink fresh milk in a bottle. Either straw or baso lang. Pina-try ko ng Dutch Mill, ganun din, either straw or baso dapat.. breastmilk lang ang iniinom nya sa bottle...

[Adam1025]

I want to introduce formula na din by the time na mag 6 months si baby, he's ebf and direct feeding kami lagi. I tried to pump din and let him drink from the bottle, well nauubos naman nya pero pilitan talaga. So I think magkaka-problem din ako pag mag mixed feed na ako sa kanya.

I plan to do it it gradually din, atleast twice a day muna okay na kaya yun para di sya mabigla? And kelan kaya maganda time of the day na ibigay sa kanya ang FM?

[vain_kixie]

sis continue mo na sanayin si baby sa bottle. At least once a day make him drink from the bottle.

Try mo yung first feeding of the day para gutom na gutom. Although sakin hindi ng work yan. Yung middle of the day given by yaya thru cup ako slowly ng introduce.
