It was intended to be in addition to BFing not to move away from it. That said I don't think DS will BF his normal amount AND take in an extra 16 oz a day. I tried to give him an extra 4 oz of water and he only took sips. </p> <p>Filling up my freezer stash isn't a bad idea. Maybe I could save enough and get off this elimination diet sooner lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supplementing#post-139889 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:04:23 +0000 pelikila 139889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on what you want. My son had weaned by 9 months and went to formula until 12 months so when we started on whole milk we aimed for 16 oz of milk per day and the rest of the time just water. If you want to keep breastfeeding, then go for it in addition to the Splash. If you want to switch to pumping only then pump for now and see how much your LO wants to drink in a given day in addition to the Splash and play it by ear until you see a consistent amount (it may take a few weeks). Then you can tailor continued pumping sessions to what you need. In the meantime you might get some more in your freezer stash than you need but that isn't a bad thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supplementing#post-139873 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:59:36 +0000 anbanan15 139873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After much debate and with consultation from our team of doctors we have ultimetly decided that we are going to be supplementing DS with EO28 Splash due to being EBF on a limited diet past 1 year. I just want to make sure he is meeting all his nutritional requirements. Our GI prescribed 2 boxes a day (it's like a juice box so 16 oz total) and I'm waiting on some samples and our first shipment to arrive. In the meantime I'm trying to figure out how in the world do you supplement?!</p> <p>Am I to give DS his Splash in replace or a nursing session and if so do I pump instead to keep my supply up? I was planning on weaning to esclusively pumping, so if I do that how much breastmilk in addition to the 16 oz Splash should DS get (12 mo, ~23 lbs)? </p> <p>Any tips for supplementing are greatly appreciated! It was so easy before with just breastfeeding on demand, now I'm confused on what to go next! Thanks! </p>
