No benefits in mixed feeding???

[jaabaar]

Hi,
I was always planning to bf. however as my daughter was very heavy at birth (nearly 11 pounds) paediatrician said to ups are needed.

So today, at 5 weeks we are still bf and bottle feeding. I try my best not to let my milk reduce. However today I was told that ifyou mixed feed you do not get the benefits of bf???? Meaning that if you bottle and bf you might as well onlyh bottle feed as the benefits are not there anymore?

Is this true???????

thanks to all for the replies and support!

PrettyCandles:
Today I noticed that my milk is strongly reduced. How can I increase it? I have a breast pump. Shall I pump after each feed or does less pumping also help???

Thanks a lot for your help!
