I've been exclusively pumping for almost 7 months now and LO just hit a massive growth spurt and my boobs cannot keep up no matter what I do. He's increased his milk demand by 50% (went from 20-22oz and being satisfied to just over 30oz) and there's just no way I can ramp up in time for his demands just by pumping. So, I'm hoping to combo feed. I'll just have to get over my desire to exclusively breastfeed because I'm not about to starve LO over my issues.
So, hoping to substitute one feed a day of 5-6oz. I have a few freebie cans from the hospital that go from 0-12 months. One is enfamil premium infant with iron and the other is similac advance also with iron. So here's my questions for you lovely ladies
Would it mess up LOs tummy if I went from one can to the next after the first ran out?
When is it ok not to be neurotic about sterilizing everything? I don't have to sterilize his bf bottles just hot soapy water
Can I use purchased spring water or be safe using cooled boiled water.
Honestly, I'm kind of excited at the prospect of not being chained to the damn pump 24/7. My goal was 6 months and I met that.
