Breast milk vs formula
Hello,
I’m currently feeding my little one expressed breast milk. He’s 3 weeks and drinking 4oz, when he’s finished he looks uncomfortable despite being winded and he’ll also show feeding queues from around an hour after. I’ve introduced a couple formula feeds due to supply and he drinks less around 3oz and seems more settled after these feeds (not uncomfortable, will sleep or be satisfied longer etc) is it just coincidence or has anyone else experienced similar?
Trying to figure out the best way to feed him going forward.
Thank you!

Formula is heavier than breast milk, we found the same thing with our bub. Bub will thrive on breast or formula, fed is best 💕

My little boy was exactly the same. Formula is more filling for new borns unlike breast milk unfortunately. Maybe try him on less milk if he’s having breast milk and see how he goes. Either way it doesn’t matter how baby is fed, just trust your instincts and do what you think is best for your baby 🤗
