Combo Feeding First Timer
I have a 3 year old son who I exclusively formula fed from birth. I was never interested in breast feeding and quite frankly with being a first time mom thought pumping might be too much too. My son was extremely colicky and had a dairy intolerance. It took us almost 4 months before we settled on Elecare and his behavior improved. He still had an intolerance until about 18 months old.
I am 28 weeks pregnant now with my second child. Being a more experienced mom- I am still not open to breastfeeding but am now very interested in pumping. More specifically- most likely a combo feeding approach of formula and pumping. My question is two parts :
Has anybody here had a first child with a dairy intolerance found that by giving their second child breast milk they have either not had the intolerance at all or found their stomachs/temperaments to be better?
Does anybody have any feedback on a formula / pumping approach and if so can you break it down from birth?
I appreciate any and all help.
