BF first - if you have an elective c section, will your milk "know" to come in as if you went into labour? I'm guessing so because you'll surely have oxytocin because of the baby but just wondered!
Now FF - I mix fed DC1 from about 4m but used cartons as I found mixing up feeds really annoying and could not fathom how the heck you're supposed to manage being out and about with needing to make up bottles. Most of my friends FF but they all seem to make them, let them go cold and then heat them up when needed, isn't that risky due to enteric whatever that can be present in powdered milk? I asked my HV last time who said "but aren't you breastfeeding?" in a stern voice and my friends all say I'm being paranoid about the water needing to be 70deg and not reheating etc. Maybe I am but it seems a big risk to take.
