Cold formula+breast milk
Hey everyone! My 4 week old is combo feeding due to my low milk supply. I got the green light today from the pediatrician to mix the breast milk with formula in the same bottle (before I was using 2 bottles each time and it got annoying).
Can I mix cold formula with room temperature breast milk? Id heat it up after mixing.
TIA!

Shouldn't be a problem
Both of my babies drink cold formula but with my first when I combo fed yes I mixed warm breastmilk with the cold formula, didn’t heat it up after :)
Yes that is fine. I have to combo feed for the same reason.
Beautiful family🤍
Are they ready to go formula or a powder Make sure if it is powder make sure your water is at a 158° to hit that powder Formula There's a bacteria that lives in powder formula a baby it needs to be under 6 months it needs to be sterilized Just in case your baby gets it They don't have antibiotics until their 6 months old In some states I would not mix breast milk and formula I would do your breast milk one bottle formula the next you don't want to mix ithen even though your pediatricians said it's OK it's just a lot harder To balance the hours Mike breast milk you can go 2 hours once your baby starts Feeding And formula is an hour my 3 week old he's a slow eater So it takes him about an hour and a half sometimes to drink the breast milk
thank you 💙
