Breast milk and formula?

Hey girls! Is anyone here combi-feeding? My LO is getting about two formula bottles (one during the day and one in the night feed window) and breast milk the rest of the time. Is anyone else doing similar? How are you finding your supply? Are you expressing too?

I’m doing similar. One at night so I can go to bed earlier and get some rest then one in the day if I’m busy. My supply’s been fine not pumping x

Hiya I am doing the same, but my feeding is more bottled and less breastfeeding because my breast milk is not sufficient for the baby. 😥

I'm doing both every feed, I have low supply anyways so need to go that route

Hey! I’m doing breast milk (bottle) all day which is around every 2 hours ish?! then at 10pm, 3:30ish, and 6:30ish he will have formula! I’m exclusively pumping too! I’ve found drinking oat milk and eating porridge really helps my supply!🤍

Yes. He’s mostly having breast milk id say now though. I express when I can and normally get about 60-70ml off. We give more formula and night and offer top ups if he’s unsettled x

I’m giving formula on a night (3 feeds) and breast milk via a bottle during the day (5 feeds). I get 80-120ml off each pumping session and I usually pump during feed times. My little girl is taking 100ml roughly for each feed so any extra I’m freezing at the moment x

Yes I do one formula bottle in the evening. I did the same with my first baby and don't think it is affecting supply. I don't express, find it too much work. I plan to do 1 bottle long term so it isn't an issue.

I do mostly formula and 1-2 bottles breast milk in he day, don't have a great supply. I BF him when I can, probably not more than 2 times a day due to his poor latch or not cooperating when we try. It's a journey for sure! X
