Hello - for various reasons I don’t plan to breast feed but would like to express breast milk and feed it in a bottle alongside formula feeding if possible. There seems to be a lot of information online about how to do this to wean baby off breastfeeding but nothing about how to do combi feed from birth. Am I right in thinking we would just use formula until my breast milk comes in and I am able to start pumping, and then start to follow advice for mixed/combo feeding? Really grateful for anyone’s experiences of doing this.
I am very much in the camp of fed is best but I also recognise the benefits of breast milk, so if I can find a way to get that to baby then great but if she doesn’t take to it I’m happy to exclusively formula feed.
