Mixed bottles with breast milk and formula?

Question

Starting to transition baby to formula, is it okay to mix formula and breast milk in one bottle? And if so, can I Pre-make the bottles and leave them in the fridge for 24 hours?

Answer

We do make up a day’s worth of formula bottles and keep them in the fridge, our formula canister specifically states that if refrigerated the formula is good for 24 hours. We love using the Dr. Brown’s formula pitcher for this, helps eliminate bubbles and mixes the formula very smoothly.

Answer

Yes you can mix formula with breast milk. What I liked to do with my boy was feed him the breast milk first, then feed him the formula. That way he got all the breast milk. And no, you cannot pre-mix formula bottles for 24 hours. Once formula is mixed, it needs used within 2 hours.

Answer

I’ve seen mixed recommendations on this due to breast milk being live and formula not. I’d ask your kiddo’s pediatrician about the best way to make the transition! 😊
