In terms of formula (or donor milk), when it comes to selecting the right one, unfortunately no IBCLC ( International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) can advise the best one for you and your baby. Before your baby is born itâs best to do some research, have a chat to family and friends and note which brand/type sounds like itâs the best fit. When and if you need it, if all the research and work is done, itâll be a much smoother introduction or transition.
Other than personal preference, formula can be recommended for babies when and if theyâre experiencing weight loss or jaundice, if theyâre small or if your supply is low.
