    Question Going half FF half BF... need help choosing

    Just a big of background: Now that I am back at work full time, Fred is only getting one BF during the day at 1pm when DH brings her to work. The one before that is at 7am and the next one is at 5pm so she then feeds 2 hrly until the next morning I need more sleep so we are starting her on FF during the day.

    The problem is that when she has a bottle it come up over the next few hours as a kind of curdled mess. Do you think this is a lactose intollerance? does anyone know what other formula types to give to avoid this? She was a chucky baby but since starting solids has not happened as much. Now it is happening a lot more and it seems to be bothering her more as well.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Which formulas have you tried? With some formulas Sam would move to puke city, but he's fine with Nan HA.

    I too was going to suggest Nan HA Gold. DD2 needed a scoop of formula in her EBM for a few weeks to help her gain weight after her surgery, the dietican suggested Nan HA Gold as apparently it is closest to the benefits of breastmilk, sorry to be so brief but I had so much information in my head at that stage that I have forgotton what ingredients it is that they said it does not have compared to others, I can find out more info if you like.

    we've tried the S26 gold, but about to buy a new container, hence the post looking for help. I'll get the Nan one and give that a go. (ps love the new avvy!)

    its been so long since I've used formula I've forgotten everything so I'll probably be back on here asking lots and lots of questions.

    DD - that would be great. I have got the feeling that fred will probably start getting more FF than BF just due to the work situation so i'd like to keep it as close as I can.
