Been looking up information around this as I'm keen to give my baby breast milk but the idea of breast feeding sort of creeps me out. I'm not a fan for myself but not against others doing it. So my question is can you formula feed and then add in breast milk once you can express? Secondly I've seen so many mixed opinions on when you can start expressing, some say from day 1 others say 6 weeks, anyone have any recommendations? I will need to speak to my midwife for the information eventually but would like a rough understanding. Bottle feeding either breast milk or formula will help as my DP can feed plus my mother is moving in for a week to help us with nights etc. Xx
