Question

its 9:30pm have run out of baby formula no shops open, friend has follow up formula but baby only 8 weeks old is it ok to use follow up formula til i can get proper newborn formula in the morning i dont think i have any other choice

Answer 1

Another vote for breast is best.

Answer 2

I dont know, that's not something I would do. But I wouldnt have gotten myself into that situation.

There must be a store open. You dont have 24 hours stores near you?

Really there is nothing open past 9:30?

I dont know, hopefully you will realize that you will run out before you do next time!! I am not trying to be rude, but it's a pretty important thing..and im sure you can tell you only have so much left and you need more.

I would phone the pedi emergency room and ask them.

Answer 3

Well the baby does have to eat. Do you have any rice cereal? You can do a tsp of cereal and add it to a 4oz bottle w/ water. That should make baby full until morning

Answer 4

Level 2 formulas are thicker than those for newborns, so I'd definitely water it down. Call the pediatrician and ask their advice. Or, if your local hospital has a labor/delivery unit, you could go there and buy formula from them to tide you over.

Answer 5

Are you near a hospital?  You could buy some formula from them.  But, otherwise, it doesn't look like you have much choice until the morning.  I would "water" it down a little.  Your baby will be fine, just get to the store in the AM.
