HELP! I Have to Supplement My Milk with Some Formula- My Worst Nightmare!!!

Hey Mamas, I have been strictly nursing my lil'man and he is now 9 1/2 months. He takes plenty of jar food and cereal in addition. My milk supply has dramatically decreased and I spoke with the doctor about it and i need to start supplementing with Formula. I have been against formula from the beginning and still am, but for his nutrition and development it seems as if I have to give in and use it for a couple months until he turns one and can have whole milk. My doctor couldn't recommend any specific brand of Formula- just listed of...

Going from Nursing to Formula at Six Months

Hi Ladies, I have had to come to a decision that has been really hard but I need to start taking medicine. So I am looking for advice on a good formula that will help with the transition for my little one. She is six months and I have the Enfamil pouches. I have always given her a bottle of breast milk and nursed so she is not afraid of taking a bottle at all. I was warned by my mom from her experiences so we have that covered. I just need to find a good formula. What have you turned to that has been a good transition from nursing...
