I've heard a lot about it. I was looking into it as well. It's blooming
expensive... something like $1.45 per ounce of breastmilk.... yikes...

But I'd do it.

Why couldn't you just mix a little formula into expressed breastmilk? When
you're not dealing with specific nutritional needs of a premie or
whatever, I
don't see why you would have to have the expensive, carefully calibrated
stuff.

For me it's the point that formula really wouldn't help her. It might in
fact make her reflux worse.

Right, I was just saying theoretically. The human milk fortifier would be
essentially the same thing as formula, I should think, in terms of reflux and
all.

I hope the fiber in the yam doesn't bother her too much. My kids used to get
some diaper rash if they ate too much (but I think it was a *lot*, I relied on
yam or sweet potato quite a bit for a while there).
