I literally want to use ready made formula when I dont have enough expressed milk but have to be somewhere ( I can't freeze at moment and not enough supply or time stock up for an event in the morning)
When should I try that first bottle? Am wondering if can try this evening before he settles for the night. He is 7 weeks today. I was giving him expressed (refrigerated) this evening as I had 2glasses of champagne but now have something unexpected I have to do in int the morning which could do with saving already expressed milk for.
I don't know why but Im worried about giving it to him before he goes to sleep I suppose because I have breast fed this whole time and keep reading about babies being sick on formula. Would this be a bad idea before night? But then some breastfeeding mums do give formula to make babies sleep at night...?!
I suppose there r 2 questions here...should I not worry about the alcohol?it's been an hour since I finished it. Was12% tho. and when and how should u test out that initial formula feed? Would this evening not be a good idea?
Sorry for poor typing am doing it 1 fingered!
