Baby suddenly refuses formula but drinks breastmilk fine
👋 I have a 13 week old lil girl and she has been combi fed since she was maybe 1 month old (bottle fed with breastmilk and then have one bottle of formula a day). She recently refused to have the formula whilst she is happy to have the breastmilk. Anyone experience this please?

@Aggs She doesn’t as I can try do an extra pump a day, its more for me so that I can have less pressure on pumping as she does take more than I pump a day otherwise. What confuses me is she takes it just fine before.
She’s probably developed a preference This might be taste but could be how the formula makes her feel after having it ( wind; texture; discomfort) My son went the other way, wouldn’t bf even though he did perfectly to begin with and that was pure laziness as the bottle is much easier to drink from than breast
@Em yeah she’s the same with breasts, won’t take it when she’s hungry as it takes a few sucks to come out. I’ll try again with formula and hopefully it’s a one off🙈

Does she actually need the formula? It could be too heavy for her.
