Do you mix formula

Question

And breast milk together? My 3 week old only had breast milk but my supply is dropping and make bottle to bottle we’ve been mixing my breast milk with the formula is that bad

Answer

I think it’d be better to mix it with water and supplement that way

Answer

I added how ever much mixed formula to complete the amount of oz for a breast milk bottle. Because I was like you, where I had terrible mommy guilt about giving him formula. But it is okay!! You gotta make sure your babe is fed! I couldn’t get my son to latch for the first 4 weeks so I decided on exclusively pumping and supplementing formula when I couldn’t supply enough, but i eventually got him to latch and I have been breast feeding ever since. Dude is a crazy eater so I still pump in the evenings so I can give him a big bottle before bed so I know he’s getting a full feed. (Trick for a mamma that needs a little extra sleep)

Answer

I combined my breastmilk with formula. But I had already mixed the formula with water.

Answer

My friend did this with her baby bc she didn’t know & her pediatrician told her they only need to do that for premie babies, to help with weight gain. So I would just use water

Answer

They don’t necessarily need eat bc they each have nutrients baby needs.
