So when we first found I was expecting, I was definitely formula feeding from birth. After some reading around and conversations with my MW (who has been very supportive whether I decide to BF or FF as she did both) I decided I would BF until my milk came in so baby got the goodness of colostrum etc. I then thought well I might aswell go for 6 weeks.
Anyway, after a chat with DH, we have bought some small ready made formula bottles "just in case" I/baby/both of us don't/cant BF.
Now on my various reads etc I read that often BF babies can feed more as BF is digested faster. I also read that if you intend to BF and FF together, that giving a FF too early can scupper BF and that baby can reject the bottle/nipple in favour of the other.
We have bought Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles as eventually, we will swap to FF completely.
So my question is... Has anyone successfully combined BF in the day and FF at night from birth? TIA
~Please note I am not asking for opinions on which is best but asking if you have combine fed from birth and your experiences~
