Brother baby’s first formula bottle🥹🤍 #combofeeding #fedisbest
A little sneak peek into my breastfeeding journey with baby girl Sarina. 💕 Just like with Kai, we are doing combo feeding again but this time I feel so much more confident in this journey together. I nurse her in the mornings, bottle feed throughout the day and give @bobbie formula at night. Combo feeding has made this breastfeeding experience so much better because I am no longer stressing about every little ounce I produce and can spend more quality time with both Sarina and Kai. This is why I am so excited to partner with @bobbie, @elvie and @drbrowns, who are making sure that all parents understand the power of combo feeding by bringing a first-of-its-kind Combo Feeding destination to @Target. Stay tuned to learn more. #combofeeding #bobbiepartner #nextwithnita #nwnfamily #newbornbaby #family #reels
Before BOILING, WASH YOUR HANDS 🧼 I’m often asked…do I ACTUALLY have to boil water for baby formula? The truth is that YES, you should be *just in case* Powdered formula has the potential to grow a bacteria called cronobacter. While it is unlikely, it is possible. Cronobacter COULD harm your baby. Here’s the good news: There is a way to kill the bacteria First 🚨 wash your hands before preparing formula 🚨 The whole 2022 shortage was due to infections from household items. So if your baby is under 2 months, is immune compromised or was born prematurely (or anything causing your baby to have a weakened immune system), wash your hands and follow the steps: 💧Get water from a clean water source and bring it to a boil 💧Remove the water from heat, let it sit for around 5 minutes 💧Mix the desired amount of water with the powdered formula. The water must be AT LEAST 158 F/70 C to be hot enough to kill the bacteria. 💧Let the formula cool by putting the bottle in an ice bath, putting it in the fridge or letting it sit. 💧Test on your wrist before serving. It will be too hot to give to your baby right after mixing! Here are some FAQ: ❓do I really HAVE to do it? ➡️ It’s truly up to you. Is it likely your baby might become infected? No. Is there still a chance if they hit the criteria? Potentially. ❓I use the baby Brezza. It does this for me, right? ➡️ NO! The BB does not hit the temperature of 158 F to kill the bacteria. ❓This is such a bad process. How can I make it easier? ➡️ Use a formula pitcher and do it once per day vs. before each feed. Put the prepared formula in the fridge for 24 hours OR use ready to feed formula. Any other questions? 💃 Feeding your baby CAN bring joy to your life with the right support. 💻 Schedule a one-on-one online consult where we can go over ALL your questions & come up with a plan YOU feel good about. #fedwithlove #babyformula #formulamom #bottlefedbaby #combofeeding

Baby Led Weaning with my 6 month old Can I just say that starting solids with the 3rd baby has been so. much. fun. Letting go of the pressure and allowing baby boy to take the lead has made the process so much more enjoyable. It’s such a fun challenge this time around to figure out how to modify what my big kids are eating to work with baby boy’s food. If he’s ready for food at meal times we do solids then, but I don’t stress about getting him solids a certain number of times per day. Breastmilk/formula is still his primary source of calories but he’s quickly showing more interest in food and I’m here for it! #momcontentcreator #babyledweaning #startingsolids #breastfeeding #combofeeding
I never expected to have a mental battle with this 😅🍼Made it 7 months but I think it’s almost time to pack up the pumps. Combo feeding has been the best decision for us and I can share more on it if anyone’s interested #pumpingmom #breastfeeding #combofeeding

Ever wondered what goat 🐐 milk 🥛 infant formula 🍼tastes like? And do you wanna win a free trip to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 for you and a friend? I’m teaming up with @hellokabrita (#ad #Kabritapartner) to taste test their newly FDA-authorized goat 🐐 milk-based infant formula 🍼 and spread the word about Kabrita’s January launch! 🚀 As a pediatric dietitian, I support 👉 breast milk 👈 as the gold standard of nutrition for babies, but when breast milk isn’t an option, we will soon (this month!) have a great new (and permanent) choice in European infant formula – Kabrita is the FIRST & ONLY long-term FDA authorized European and goat milk-based infant formula in the US. Goat milk-based infant formula is officially AAP-supported as of October 🎉 If you’ve ever thought that goat milk 🐐🍼 based formula would taste too tangy or “goaty,” I can assure you that it doesn’t! My whole family tried it and liked it - to me, it tastes creamy and pleasant, similar to slightly sweet milk 🥛 Which makes sense 💡since, like breast milk, lactose is the predominant ingredient. 🫶 Kabrita contains all of the critical nutrients babies need including 25 vitamins and minerals (i.e., folic acid, iron, and vitamin B12) plus DHA and ARA, prebiotics GOS, and oligosaccharides to support digestion and immune health. The science behind it is strong, making it a great option for most healthy, term babies—especially the fussier ones—partly because the proteins in goat milk are naturally more similar to breast milk than cow’s milk and therefore easier to digest. Goat 🐐 milk-based infant formula is less well-known in the US, but globally 🌏 Kabrita is loved by more than 1.5 million babies daily. ✈️ Want to learn more about Kabrita’s Dutch heritage straight from the source?

One of my biggest fears when we started combo-feeding was this! Will she bond less with me? Will formula somehow replace the closeness breastfeeding gives? I don’t know why we’re made to believe that only one type of feeding creates a deeper connection. Because the truth is, looking back, I bonded with Dhwani in ways that had nothing to do with how she was fed. In the sleepy cuddles after a 2am feed. In the way she held my finger with her tiny hand. In the moments she looked at me like I was her whole world. In the giggles, bath times, contact naps, silly songs and diaper disasters. Bonding wasn’t tied to breastfeeding. Bonding came from being her safe space. So if you’re switching between methods, or feeling guilty about introducing formula, or worried that the “bond won’t be the same”… Please know - your baby doesn’t measure their love for you by ounces or feeding techniques. They just know you. They know your touch, your voice, your smell, your presence. That’s the bond. That’s the real connection. No feeding method can take that away. ♥️ Share this with all mamas that are going though this phase ♥️♥️ #combofeedingmama #combofeeding #formulafedbaby #fedisbest #lowbirthweight #lowbirthweightbaby
