EBF to formula feeding

Those that are formula feeding and have around a 6 week old what is your routine with feeding? Going to be moving to formula fed and no idea what times to give bottles as there has been no routine with BF as LO was on me constantly. And if you have Tommee Tippee bottles what size teet are you using? Ps. If the person that spewed a load of shite about those that formula feed are harming their child then pls keep off this post as some don’t have a choice🙃🙃🙃

😯😯 as someone that’s formula feeding through no choice I’m so glad I didn’t see that post! Fed is best! With regards to routine, I EBF for 4 weeks (he’s now 8 weeks) since week 5 we done the same routine, he has always woken/wanted a bottle every 3 hours, we tried to work it around bedtime (roughly) so ours days are like: 8am 11am 2pm 5pm 8pm He then wakes for a feed at 1/2am and sometimes 4am Xxx

Hey lovely. I had to switch to formula due to my pp mental health. Routine we don’t really have one as baby has kind of given us one. He wants feeding every 3-4 hours and it’s around the same times each day xx

Hey, I’m combi feeding using formula at night, he tended to have a bottle around every 3 hours at 6 weeks, it’s now more like 4 hours at 8 weeks overnight 👍 we just introduced it gradually, I think we literally started with up to 30ml. The pre made formula was really useful at the start, then switched to powder as it is much cheaper to use. We are still on the size 1 teats for normal formula (bubs has reflux so when using thickened formula he’s on teat size 2) x

I never pushed on a routine but my baby has naturally fallen into a loose one. His first bottle is always set and is 7am because I get him up with my other little boy. He will then feed every 3 ish hours on demand. Our day loosely resembles: 7am 10am 1pm 4pm 7pm
