Sign up for samples. You'll get free samples in the mail that way just incase breastfeeding doesn't work out you'll have some until you can get the big things.
@angelina_cxoxo yeah you can. Half formula half breastmilk but she doesn't need to do that if breastfeeding goes good. Normally you only want to introduce and mix if you plan on stopping or are having a supply problem
I had to supplement because my supply never came in. My mom said she had the same problem with my older brother and he also ended up with an allergy to some formulas. His step son had the same issues, thought that was funny in a weird coincidence kinda way.
But mom said with me, she had enough milk to feed 3 babies. Personally I think she should have then pumped and shared with my then toddler brother who was about 1.5 to boost his immunity, but idk why she didn't.
I'm hoping that since I struggled with my daughter that this time it will be different.
Also, even though my daughter tolerated the mixed breast milk and formula well I still used the "sensitive" formula to be on the safe side.

I heard you can mix breastmilk w/ formula but I'm not sure if I heard that correctly lol.

@angelina_cxoxo, yes you can, but some babies don't tolerate it well...
My nephew didn't but my daughter was fine. Nephew ended up with a whey allergy and had to have a super special formula.
