Combo feeding?

Question

Any moms doing breast + formula? How’s that going? Pros & Cons?

Answer

I am and would definitely recommend it if you are considering it. Doing both has helped my girl gain the weight that she needed, and has helped me mentally with the burden of having a low supply.

Answer

Me. I’ve been pumping to breast feed during the day & bottle feeding at night. It has been helping because I do not have the biggest supply and I know she’s being fed enough.

Answer

We are having to do it on as on a feeding plan due to his weight loss. Going ok and he’s far more content

Answer

Me 🙋‍♀️ I have true low supply...I can't make enough for my boy to thrive so top him up with formula after feeds. Well we were then he worked out the bottle was waaay easier & developed a major breast adversion 😔🙄 I'm now pumping and giving that to him via the bottle with formula. It does have its pros & cons. Family, partner, friends etc can give your baby a bottle/formula so you can get a break. But it will also likely decrease your supply since baby will be feeding on you less. Do whats right for you & your baby mumma x

Answer

I’m doing that. This is my 4th baby and I naturally dry up very quick and for no obvious reason so this baby I decided instead of fighting to increase my supply only to be disappointed and have an angry baby, I supplement formula when I know she’s sucked me dry and she’s still hungry. I don’t notice any issues doing both.
