Enfamil or Similac

Hi ladies, I am wondering if any of you have had the experience of using both of these brands and can help me make a decision on which to go with. I used Similac Isolmil Advanced with my daughter but just read a study that the Enfamil ProSobee Lipil has higher levels of nutrients in it than the Similac. I am so used to the name brand Similac that using something different worries me without some input. If any of you could share your experiences with me I would appreciate it! Also, just in case, I am not at all against breast feeding and...

Regaining Milk Supply

My daughter is 9 weeks old. I have been breastfeed since she was born. In the past few days, my milk supply has decreased dramatically. I have rented a hospital pump in hopes of regaining my milk supply. I have started back to work part time and we are running out of back up milk. How long do I struggle with feeding and pumping together until I should give up? I am dangerously close to having to switch to formula. Any words of advice?

Breast Milk to Soy Milk

My Daughter is going to be 14 months old soon. I have been giving her breast milk this entire time but am ready to stop pumping now. She has not nursed since she was 11 months old and I have been pumping the entire time since. I have decided to switch her to something else. The doctor said to switch her to Soy Milk instead of Cow's Milk because my daughter has a sensitive stomach. I tried soy last night and she didn't like it at all. Are there any alternatives that you can think of? I already have to put Acidophilus Probiotics into...
