That's a great idea...I may try that at his next feed. I was doing well last week pumping the same time in the morning but this week has been crazy in the mornings so I haven't had any time to pump in the am...I've been doing it in the pm but I literally got half an oz. I'm still trying though. So worst case scenario I have to supplement with formula when I work 1 day a week...is there a special kind??

I don't know much about the difference between one formula and the next but have asked if anyone else knows :)

I think the US ones are similar to what is available up here...quite a few name brands like Nestle, Similac, Enfamil and all sorts of store brands (most of which are off label versions of brand names - Costco Kirkland formula is made by Similac I believe). I used Similac for my older two and Nestle Good Start for DD3 as she seemed to tolerate it better (it is a patially broken down formula, kind of a mid stage between regular ones and hypoallergenic ones). Hth!
