the now breastfeeding advocate in me would tell you to stop the once a day bottle and just breastfeed, but the sensible mom in me would tell you to stop eating dairy, and substitute it with soy products, and stick with the 1 bottle a day.  the only problem you might have with the 1 bottle a day (as i now have with gigi), she is going to get mad at the breast, because the milk doesn't flow as quickly.  either way, i pump all day at work, so she is getting breastmilk regardless.

JMR - maybe you could try splitting the bottle into two feedings?  Like give her half a serving in the morning and top her off with breastfeeding, and do the same in the evening?  Might help her keep from getting frustrated because things flow slower if she's not starving, like Karina mentioned.  If having trouble digesting the formula is contributing to her reflux, the half formula half breastmilk feedings might ease that a bit too.


Karina - are you using newborn nipples for Gigi?
