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.
As well, she's never had a bottle past the first day of no NG tube. The
bottle taught her how to suck. I don't think I could get her to take one
now
anyway.



If it ever does come to giving your baby formula there are formulas which
are designed for reflux babies. My son was miserable on normal formula but a
changed wee man on the thickened reflux formula. I have a friend who found
the same. So don't worry about that :-)
