Feeding issues / serious replies only please?
Right before I delivered my daughter I specifically told the nurses that I wanted to exclusively breast-feed my daughter. Because I was under some sedation (Nubain and Phenergan), they didn’t want me to breastfeed. So they fed her Enfamil LIPIL w/Iron (without asking me either). I had Similac Advanced w/Iron at home from a gift-bag from the docs office. I eventually had to switch to the Similac w/ Iron as requested from my baby’s doctor, b/c she figured that her constipation & colicky attitude stemmed from the Similac Advanced. Well, since WIC doesn’t offer the Similac, now they have her on Enfamil Gentlease. Doc also told me to put 1tsp of prune juice per 1oz of formula to help with constipation. I’m at wits end. I am getting tired of getting the run around from her doctor & the WIC office & I’m tired of them messing with her digestive system. It’s NOT fair to her, she’s only 3wks old. My milk has dried & I’m depressed that I can’t feed her the way I want. Any thoughts on this?
