Couple questions about supplementing. If I mix three ounces of breastmilk and two ounces of formula do I still had water with the breastmilk in it? Lol I have no idea how it would work

you would add the amount of water you need with the formula because if you put breastmilk which is already mill and nutrients then formula with that the baby could be getting too much of that so evenly distribute it

But he drinks five ounces? Also do I warm up the breast milk first then add the formula. @phasion thank you as wel

you don't have to warm up anything but if you prefer warm everything up once you mix everything together . if he drinks 5oz then 4oz of your breast milk , half of scoop of formula and 1oz of water . How much breast milk do you give him every feeding?
