I used aptamil as I combi fed and it can be topped up with breastmilk. We had no issues and our baby was a huge eater x

We used aptamil first then switched to cow and gate (honestly mainly because of the price difference between the 2 and them basically being the same) baby's been fine on both of them.
What works for 1 baby may not work for yours though so 🤷

Kendamil so far so good. Combo feeding at the moment.

Please can someone give advice on how to introduce combi feeding/formula? Do breastfed babies settle/get satisfied on formula? Sorry if that is a silly question. I'm worried baby won't adjust xx

every baby is different but my girl never had any issues. I would do feeds on the boob and bottles with formula. Dad would take a bottle a night type job. If my supply was crap, I would pour what I’d pumped into the formula to top it up. Baby girl slept no differently on either feeds (she was a heavy sleeper either way).

It really depends your baby. We started with cow and gate but she was throwing it up a lot so we changed to aptamil

I just started my lo on aptamil. I was giving cow and gate initially but she threw up whenever I gave a bottle. I only just started giving bottle myself as I am exclusively BF. So I guess introduce one to two bottle per day and go from there.
