Hi
DS is coming up to 19 weeks and initially I really wanted to excl. bfeed to the recommended 26 weeks. However due to various reasons (too many to go into) - I am considering starting to give one feed a day via formula. So DS will still be receiving 4/5 feeds a day of bm, with one of ff (potentially)
Can someone explain to me what the impact of this could be to DS? I have to admit that despite looking on the internet and reading threads on here, I am not entirely sure what problems/ health related issues there could be if one feed a day became formula based.
I am aware of the potential impact to supply...am just interested in finding out any potential downsides to DS based on your experiences/ knowledge
thanks in advance
