Hi all
I'm assuming some of you must be far more well-read than me. I've started hunting around on the internet for information on giving a breastfed baby formula, but there seem to be so many different opinions out there... thought I'd ask other mumsnetters what they think, based on what you've read.
I've started giving my exclusively bf DD a bottle of formula at night and this has helped her sleep through the night. I know there is considerable debate about this practice and I'm wondering what you all think about it. I started doing it as a desperate measure for some sanity, as I was diagnosed with PPD some time ago and find that a full night's sleep is magic medicine. But, I'm so torn after reading how damaging formula is to a baby's insides.
DD is 4.5 months old, and also has a wee bit of baby rice in the morning- about 1 - 2 tsp. I thought that because she's eating baby rice, that a 'foreign substance' like formula isn't much different.
Any advice/opinions/knowledge appreciated. Thanks!
