If you nurse and give bottles, how often for each daily?

I'm currently giving LO half of his feedings by nursing and half with a bottle of pump BM. He seemed to be unhappy with his last nursing with me. Just wondering if you are doing both, how often for each daily? Wondering if I need to change the frequency.

Thanks!!!

    DD is at day care so she takes 2-3 bottles a day and nurses the rest of the time and always all weekend nursing!

    He may just be confused b/c he's still pretty young to be switching from a boob to a bottle.  Bottles are easier for babies to use and boobs take more work.  Maybe he's just not wanting to do the extra work right now.  

    My son was unhappy with bottles when he was really young... he took them but not easily.  It wasn't until he was about 8 wks old that he was totally ok with bottles.  

    Maybe a bit more nursing and less bottle time for now?

    And actually, we ended up switching bottles to something that was more like a boob.  That helped him big time!
