FF part time?

Anyone FF by day and feed BM by night? How did you start introducing formula?  Mix in a little with BM or just replacing one bottle at time? LO is already on a bottle as I am EP right now bc of tongue tie issues.  Getting it clipped tomorrow so really hoping that helps his silent reflux.  

Re: FF part time?

  • When DS had his lip and tongue tie release they told me to BF as often as he wanted cause his tongue needed practice after the clipping.
  • Loading the player...
  • Mix it with breast milk and decrease the amount of breast milk you put in gradually over a few days.
  • Start slow so you don't upset his tummy. I would try adding and ounce or two to his bottle of BM. My LO refuses a bottle of there is even one ounce of formula so I gave up.

  • I do the opposite. Bf during the day and ff at night. I find he sleeps a little longer between feedings with the formula. I would mix half bm half formula at first then when he was used to it went full formula. I also find mixing his formula bottles before we go to bed and warming then up makes the night feedings go faster and smoother.
