We had a issue last week that we made it 30 minutes into our 2 hour drive to my parents when we realized that we forgot expressed milk for R for an entire 36 hours away from me! We were close enough that I just turned around and went back for it (with a lot of frustration on my part!). Had we been further away, we probably would have just picked up some formula when we got there. She's been EBF since she was born (5.5 months old), so while I would have been annoyed, I wouldn't have been devastated that I had to buy her formula because girl has got to eat!

That being said, my mom suggested that we store some backup formula at her house since if that happens again, it probably would be on the way to her place when I have a wedding that I'm shooting and thus away from R.

Do you have any suggestions on a good backup for a EBF baby at 5.5 months? I'm totally in the dark about options, if she needs something for her age, ones to avoid because it tastes bad, vitamins that should be in it, etc. If it matters, we try to eat organic/local when we can and if we can find something that is organic and people recommend, that would be great!

I had samples, but they've expired.

ETA: i have a mild lactose intolerance, so i try to stay away from dairy, but i've noticed no reactions from her when i do have dairy, if that makes a difference?
