DD is 6 mo. I have to begin supplementing with formula. I do not have enough BM for her anymore. She started taking it fine, for the first couple days. Now, NOTHING. She won't even look at formula, much less drink it. We've tried 4 different kinds. All with the same result. I don't know what to do. We are down to less than a week's supply of BM. I don't want her to starve. How do I get her to drink the formula?

Yes... mix it 3/4 BM & 1/4 formula then gradually decrease the BM amount. Have you tried ready-to-feed formula? It's more expensive but some babies prefer it. Has she been getting bottles? If it's also her first bottles then you should have someone else give to her & leave the house. If she knows you are around she will hold out for the BM
