6 week old one off formula feed

My 6 week old takes a bottle and also has a dummy. I'm going out at 1 for just over an hour to get my nails done so DP is going to take him for a walk in the pram, he will probably stay asleep however I want to leave a bottle of milk just incase. I've only got 1oz expressed and havent got time to express enough so would a one off formula feed of cow and gate ready to use do him any harm? I know it could affect milk supply but mine is pretty good so should be ok

You’ll be absolutely fine, by 6 weeks your supply will have regulated quite well so I wouldn’t worry, and one bottle of formula won’t both baby.

Totally fine. Some babies aren't keen on bottles at first, but they are in a minority.
