Ladies ive been doing combined feeding for about a week now and its going really well. However I never know how many ounces to do because it changes all the time 🤔,feel like im wasting formula. Olivia will have between 3-5oz throughout the day inbetween breastfeeding. Does this seem normal? Thought she would be drinking more. The aim is to eventually keep breastfeeding for nightime only n formula during the day,im just slowly trying to ease her into it.

@west94 i expressed for a few months but in the end i was always left with cracked,bleeding nipples and it just left me miserable. Didint want to stop compleletly hence why im doing combined feeding x

Ouch i dont blame you for stopping ! Only asking as havent heard much of combined and seeing if its something id consider with my next one as i have a condition where no oxygen gets to my nipples so really hard to breast feed! Glad you are both happy !!@missy84 xx

@west94 definately recommend it but just make sure baby is already used to bottle as that will make ur life easier x

I am doing combination feeding since last thursday and I love it as I was feeling miserable too and had mastitis twice and nipple blisters etc. I have started with two bottles a day of 7 oz and today he had 3 bottles 2 of 7 oz and ine of 5 oz and hopefully in a few weeks I ll be able to only breastfeed at night :) x
