Enfamil Vs. Similac

I was wondering how important it is to keep your baby on the same formula or is it ok to switch. When my baby was born she wasn't able to nurse and my milk hadn't come in, so we supplemented her with Enfamil. Now I am able to provide her expressed breastmilk, but I know it won't last. So here I sit with many, many samples of Enfamil and Similac formula. I hate to give one brand away because it is so expensive so I was wondering if and when the time comes to give her formula, can I just use both?

Breast Pump Advice

I just had my second son last week and I'm in the market for a breast pump. I had the Medela single deluxe electric with my first son and hated it (the motor broke twice, it took me 2 weeks to pump one bottle). Does anyone have any advice for a good pump? I only need to pump for the occasional time I'm away from my son (I'm a stay-at-home mom), so I don't need a hospital grade pump. I also don't want to spend a lot of money since I don't think I'll be having more children (and don't need to pump very often).

Pumping Isn't Working!!

I have a 5 month old who I breastfeed. I work fulltime and pump 3 times a day at work. My problem is that in the last 5 days I'm only pumping 1 oz out of each breast at a time and believe me, my son eats way more than that at a feeding!! Plus I don't feel like my brand new breast pump is working like it used to. I've only had it since Max was 6 weeks old and now I feel like I can't get any milk out. I also am now out of frozen milk because we've had to take from there to accomodate the fact that I'm not getting enough milk when I pump. ...

Mixing Breast Milk with Formula

I'm exclusively breastfeeding my 2 mo. old boy and my little guy is gaining on avarage 12 ounces a week. He was 13.11 oz at his 2 month check up on Monday and doing great! He's a really happy healthy baby boy. I feed him every 2.5 - 3 hours during the day and he's still waking up every 4-5 hours at night to eat. He seems like he's starving, just always hungry especially at 3am. I think he's ____@____.com feeding and my husband gives him a 4.5oz bottle of my breast milk at 11pm (that's all he'll take) and he still wakes up between 3 and...
