Still BF once supplement w formula?

Question

I fear I will have to supplement w formula soon (I can’t pump enough w going back to work). Once you start supplementing, can you still BF or does your supply go away? I understand it’s a supply & demand situation, I’m just interested in other’s experiences with this. Were you still able to BF once you started supplementing?

Answer

I am currently breastfeeding and giving formula! My milk supply has greatly diminished but I still have milk and always offer the breast first before I give formula!!

Answer

I recommend wearing these around during the day too. I stored so much milk from what I was leaking you would be surprised by how much you can get.

Answer

With my first baby I supplemented breastfeeding with formula. As time went on over his first year he definitely got more formula than breastmilk but I still had milk even after I totally weaned him at one year old.

Answer

Yes, my current situation. I try to fed him first then when he gets upset, i give him some formula. But he will only take a boob at night.

Answer

I have been supplementing since the beginning. She breastfeeds and then gets a bottle. She only breastfeeds over the night.
