I am pumping and using formula because I dont make enough milk; is it ok to combine my milk and formula in the same bottle?
that would be fine with me, but I'm not sure about the best way to give it to him since it's such a small amount . maybe a syringe @withlovedkj ?
I've heard that it was best to give the baby the breast milk first then the formula to avoid the breast milk from going to waste in case baby doesn't finish the entire bottle. Your choice though. @eiliahelocin
combining milk and formula? I haven't heard that :( wouldn't it be the same since they will be mixed in his tummy anyway?
ok good, I was stressing over it! Can formula be kept in the fridge if he doesn't eat it all?
I put my pitiful amount of my milk in my sons bottles all the time. It's usually less than an oz. i keep it in the fridge until I pour in his prepared formula. The bm is good for 6 hours but formula only 4 hrs... So if my son doesn't finish the bottle within 4 hours yeah it's a waste but he usually does!!
