Hi Ladies! i want to say thanks again for all the help i have found here, both when i'm posting and when i'm a looky-loo! i could not have made it this far without it. it helps tremendously to feel less alone!
my DS is 11 months old, & i've managed to provide enough BM exclusively since he was 4 months. often i just scrape by- with just a little in freezer for emergencies. i have had some close calls but have just made it through- & each time i was very surprised to do so! & it turns out he doesn't much care for the taste of my frozen milk- so it's just as well that there isn't a lot.
but now i must start weaning a month earlier than i had planned, and DS is a picky eater. he won't eat many solids and doesn't eat much when he does. i hope to at least keep some BM each day- but know that at least half will have to be formula. i prefer not to mix them.
i know i am worrying in advance, but i fear he is going to turn up his nose at the formula he will have to start drinking soon.
can anyone suggest a formula their picky BM baby enjoyed?
thank you all once again!!!

I don't have any personal experience with it but I did read online in another forum that Similac and Earth's Best taste the most like breastmilk. Sorry I can't remember where I saw it to link you to it!
thank you both for the ideas, it does help! he did turn his nose up at the earth's best- but next i will try a toddler formula/ or similac organic/ or maybe a ready to feed formula because something has to work!

Great job making it so long! My DS is 10 months and at 8 months I decided to drop an additional pump (from 4 to 3) for some much needed mental health and my supply decreased quite a bit. He did refuse formula. He needs somewhere between 6 and 10 oz of something each day as supplement but formula was a no go and just like your LO he isn't too into solids. After trying every formula of every type ever made, I ended up using goat's milk. I called his Dr to check first and he said it was fine. Apparently there is a small chance of some type of anemia if babies are fed only goat's milk, but if used as a supplement there's nothing to worry about. He didn't love it at first, but he would take it and now he seems to like it just as much.
I am sure this reply is too late for the original post, but maybe it can help other people.
what does bump mean? & how do i do it?
