I ask my PD previously the same question. she mentioned that NAN is somewhat to the bitter end so baby might reject whereby similac is on the other sweeter end. Dumex is known for its prebiotics which protect the gut hence aid in hard stool. I am in the similar scenario mixing Dumex w my dropping BM supply. I just pump whatever I have & give it as a mix till date as my LO has to latch to sleep at night. if baby is more than 6mths, you can ask for samples. the day you plan to start formula, remember to do a mix starting w a higher proportion of BM to FM then slowly reducing to fully FM.
