The Formula Experiment

When Léo was 2 weeks old, I was quite tired with breastfeeding so I decided to introduce formula in his diet. We tried a few ounces that week and his body didn't react well at all. He was crying in pain. Since the crying / being fussy lasted for about 2 weeks and I stopped giving him formula after a couple of tries, I think the two were not linked but now I'm scared to re-introduce formula again. On moms boards it seems that a lot of babies on formula experience massive pain, so I have decided to breastfeed until he's about 12 weeks. I will re-introduce formula then since his digestive system will be better formed and since I'll be close to returning to work -ugh, don't even want to think about that.

So that's that for now.
