Combination feeding

We are exclusively bottle feeding and wanting to feed both expressed breast milk and formula but going in a bit blind on the topic. Can we feed breast milk in the day and then formula through the night? Wasn’t sure if there was a recommended way or schedule to follow.

Swapping from cows milk back to formula

Formula feeds - always different

Is it normal for a formula fed baby to take different amounts each feed? I feed my 11 week old every 3-3.5hrs and she will take anywhere from 2oz-4oz. She never takes the same amount.
