    This video is going to be awesome for some mama's out there. Personally I have breastfed all my babies, but definitely wanted to watch this for some tips in case my baby due in June is not like my other babies. Thanks for sharing your journey and all the things you have learned.

      Thanks for watching! It’s definitely great to have information so that it can make things easier. Each baby is so different but hopefully you have a great experience no matter if it’s breastfeeding or formula feeding.

      I’ve found it to be one of the most stressful parts of parenting. Thanks for watching!

    My baby was formula fed from the very beginning. It is SO EASY to overfeed a formula fed baby. My baby wanted to use the bottle as a pacifier, but wouldn’t take an actual pacifier. The HARDEST part of formula for us was finding the right formula. She ended up going through 3 different formulas before the pediatrician realized she had an allergy to cows milk so she is on soy now. You had such good tips! This video is going to help so many mamas! I love seeing helpful formula videos because not everyone breastfeeds or can breastfeed. 💛

      I know formula feeding was a whole new experience for me and was at time overwhelming. It seems to be a common thread that finding the right formula is a struggle. I’m glad they figured things out I’m sure it was stressful for you. Thanks for sharing your experience!

    These were some great tips! It was very interesting to hear because I’ve only ever breastfed so I’ve never used formula!

    • @MichelleClaire
      @MichelleClaire  Před 3 lety +1

      It was a lot to learn because I only breastfed my first. Thanks for watching!

    These are some good tips for new mamas especially. I breastfeed but knowing this if I don't get to do that for my next is very helpful.

    Great tips girl! I formula fed my son because I wasn't able to breastfeed. I really like that your sharing your experience. :)

    I love your video, such a great content. and I love the amazing quality of it. You'll definitely be helping a lot of new Mamas with this topic. With me, I was alternating between breastfeeding and formula for both babies and it was only because I had really little milk supply. :) I haven't breastfed for a while as my kids are both 6 & 4. So it will be very interesting what my experience will be like :)

    • @MichelleClaire
      @MichelleClaire  Před 3 lety

      Thank you so much. I hope that it is helpful. It’s interesting how different each experience is. There have been a lot of changes in supplements and pumps so your experience could be different this time around. Also congratulations!!

    Great advice! I ended up having to bottle feed all 3 of my kids.

      Thanks fo watching! There are so many experiences. Thanks for sharing what you did.

    This could’ve really helped me when my son was a baby. I breastfed him for 2 months but I ended up having to supplement with formula and I was so lost at first. Eventually we had to switch to formula exclusively and it took a while to find the right formula for him because he had pretty bad reflux. These are great tips for any new mama’s or anyone who hasn’t used formula before! That first year can be rough when you’re trying to figure out how/what to feed your child.

    • @MichelleClaire
      @MichelleClaire  Před 3 lety +1

      So true and I felt the same. I think it’s also harder because some mama’s plan to breastfeed and don’t think about formula and then when you are taking care of a newborn trying to do it then is a lot. I wish I had at least looking into it while pregnant to have the information on hand. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!

    I think with formula feeding is always about trying to figure out which one is the best for individual baby 😉 my boy had formula from 4 months as I didn’t have enough milk to feed him full. And women shouldn’t feel bad about formula feeding their baby. I felt so guilty that he must to go though bad tummy ache before finding the right one, but in the end through some tears I am glad we did it as he wasn’t hungry and grew well ❤️👍

    • @MichelleClaire
      @MichelleClaire  Před 3 lety

      It’s crazy how so many moms have the same experiences and yet feel so isolated and guilty when it comes to using formula. There can be a lot of trial and error but glad it all worked out for you! Thanks for watching!

  • @chelsealewis1285

    Great tips for formula feeding. I have IGT and breast/formula feed until 13 months and we are still using formula because milk is not always available where we live.

    • @MichelleClaire
      @MichelleClaire  Před 3 lety

      Thanks for watching! What is IGT? If you are comfortable sharing. Is milk not available because of the pandemic? I have been reluctant to not have any formula on hand because there have been times when milk is hard to find.

  • @nicheinhabitantsinhabitant2516

    Woow i didn't know that feeding the baby the whole bottle at once causes more gas in their pipes, thanks i love this

    • @MichelleClaire
      @MichelleClaire  Před 3 lety

      I learned that the hard way when my son was spitting up and have some gas pain. Glad that it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

    Great video, can’t wait for pt 2!
    My son took both bottle and breast and completely weaned at 11mos
    My daughter will not drink anything milky from anything other than a boob!
    At this point I need to hire a wet nurse cause I’m over it 😩😅

    • @MichelleClaire
      @MichelleClaire  Před 3 lety +1

      Ahaha so crazy how different experiences are with each child. My son will not let go of the bottle. He runs away from a sippy with milk lol

    My son was also formula fed! We went through 5 formulas before finally putting him on soy and omg it was a life savor.

    • @MichelleClaire
      @MichelleClaire  Před 3 lety

      Wow that must have been stressful for you. Glad that you found one that worked. Thanks for watching and sharing!

    • @MichelleClaire
      @MichelleClaire  Před 3 lety

      That’s great that you were able to do that. I hope it was a positive experience for you. Thanks for watching!

  • @superisaacsfamilyadventure8862

    My son was formula fed because I wasn’t able to breastfeed. I tried 3 different formulas to finally find what my son like.

      Everything with kids is trial and error for sure. There are no one size fits all. Thanks for watching!
