Introducing formula to BF baby? Tips?

Hi all! My LO has been breastfed only and is 5 weeks old. I am suffering with nipple blanching from fast let down I think which has been a pain recently. I decided to use the haakaa pump to try express some milk so my partner could give a bottle. Since then baby has fussed and struggled to latch on to left breast!! I think I put it on too tight and it's almost made the areola larger and the nipple isn't protruding as much! It's bizarre! Anyway between all of this I'm thinking of moving to formula soon and wondered what the best way would be or recommendations on formula type? I was thinking just one bottle to start with, perhaps the night time feed? Thanks in advance!

Can’t offer much advise on how to do it, but I know that newborn formula is so tightly regulated that it’s all the same stuff. It doesn’t matter which brand you buy unless you have a specific need like dairy free etc.

Oh that's good to know! Thank you!
