Introducing formula. HELP

My son is 2 months old & I've been exclusively pumping. Between feeding him & pumping at night I get no sleep, it's becoming very exhausting. How do I properly introduce formula with out upsetting his tummy? Do I mix the formula with water as usual & mix it into the breastmilk or use the breastmilk as the liquid? It may be a dumb question but I've never used formula before. Thanks in advance!

    Mix the formula powder with water then mix with breastmilk. You can start to slowly decrease the amount of breastmilk until you are using just formula. That should help his tummy get used to the formula too. Switching abruptly can cause gas and constipation.
