Has anyone on her got a baby who has breastmilk before bed and found that introducing a bottle of formula helps them sleep better? Am thinking of resorting to this as I'm just so exhausted 😴

Nope makes no difference here what so ever!

My baby is ebf... when dad does bed time he has formula. And when we were introducing the bottle he did then too. Made no difference to sleep at all.

Made no difference to us. In fact it made it a little worse.

No difference here either. My supply tanked when I had mastitis so we now combination feed with 1-2 bottles of formula in 24 hours. We give the formula feeds before bed/at night so my husband can feed her and I can get some rest and although I can get a break she doesn't sleep longer!

I was EBF and used to read all these posts and think maybe that’s what I need to do as well. I’m back at work so now she’s mostly formula and it has made absolutely no difference.

Nope no difference at all

No difference for me either
Ok this isn't giving me much hope 😔 sorry to hear this ladies xx

Nope. Getting baby to sleep without boob was the solution. He cries minimally and has boob about 30-45mins before bed. Now wakes up twice a night for more milk only and back down in less than 10mins
do you put him down awake?

Yes. It’s not easy and some nights aren’t great but the majority are better and we defo feel more rested

I ebf and have just started doing a formula feed at night but has made no difference to her sleep! It’s still just as bad ☹️
