For Mom who breastfeed and formula feed?

Question

Do you breastfeed at nights, formula feed at days? Or do you do breast milk first then formula and so on? Any advice I’m trying to do both right now but seems like my little guy is more happy and fuller with formula.

Answer

I did both for the first week or so on doctors orders. Always offered breast first. Sometimes he wouldn't take it, so my husband would bottle feed formula while I pumped to keep supply up. If you're still establishing your supply (first few weeks of life) then you should definitely try to breastfeed before formula or you risk your milk drying up. Which is fine if you want to transition to just formula but something to be aware of.

Answer

I had to supplement so I did both all the time. I’m tired thinking about it and it was 2 years ago lol

Answer

I breastfeed during the day and use formula during the night.

Answer

It depends on my goal with the baby! If we need her to sleep — formula! If we don’t mind her waking up more often, breast milk!
I pump and I’m just now getting enough supply for 50% of her day. 
It all may change once my supply increases more.
