Feeding

Hi yall!
I’ve brought some formula not too long ago for when baby arrives, but I’ve now decided I want to breast feed as well as formula feeding. So formula feeding during the day & breastfeeding at night.

Would I need to get different formula now or would I still be able to use that formula I’ve brought?

Also any tips and tricks with the feeding will be great thank you :)

If you're in the UK first infant milk is all you'll ever need because the companies are legally obligated to put the exact same thing in all formulas, and aren't allowed to market it

Yeah you can still use it

Any formula is suitable to use regardless of whether or not you’re also offering breastmilk. My LO is 10 weeks and I exclusively pump so she gets mostly my expressed milk but we do supplement work Kendamil goats milk formula.

Just a heads up from my personal experience with both my babies, they will most likely reject your breast if you introduce a bottle. Be 100% sure you want to bottle feed before you start

Cleaning

So my ex has just moved out and the house is an absolute state.
How the fuck do i clean when I have my 9 month old trying to touch and mess everything up? He wont stay in his high chair, he isn't ready for a nap, and i just know this is going to take me all day without the baby let alone with him

Night bottles

I’m so lost , I know she’s 13 months and the pediatrician said it’s okay to skip middle of the night bottles. She’s a great weight and growing. She wakes up at like 3 am screaming , and I know she’s hungry. I try soothing her but i end up feeding her . It’s like we’re raising gremlins out here. What are we doing to transition from night feeds. At daycare they are dropping her to one bottle after her nap. She’s there 4 days a week because I work full time : so I try to keep her on that same schedule when she’s home with me Thursdays . Help

Help!

My baby is having her tongue tie procedure tomorrow (she’s 5 weeks). Due to her poor latch I switched to pumping but if all is sorted tomorrow I’d like to go back to exclusively breastfeeding. Has anyone gone back to breastfeeding smoothly or have any tips for the transition? I wouldn’t mind continuing to pump either as I have gotten into a routine. Any advice welcome.
