Hi I mostly breastfeed my nearly 5 month DS2 but he also gets a bottle of formula at the last feed, usually around 11pm ish. I'm thinking of introducing a second bottle as he is a little under weight for his length and I just feel he is now needing that bit extra, however, I don't think he is completely ready for solids yet. I feed him on demand during the day usually about 4 breast feeds between 6am and 7pm from both sides (usually) though not always.
I just wondered when the best time of day would be to introduce the second bottle. My health visitor suggested the late afternoon feed (2pm) but I'm thinking the bedtime feed would be best as we are always at home then and saves faffing about with bottles when we're out and about. I'm just trying to weigh up the pros and cons of which feed to replace. What do you think, baring in mind that he will probably start solids in the next few weeks?
