I know there has been a couple of other posts about this recently but I was wondering how easy it is to breast feed your baby and suppliment this with the odd bottle feed of formula milk?
I plan to breast feed & express milk if I can so my partner can do an occasional night feed or take care of LO if I go out but I've heard this can be time consuming and you don't get much milk to bottle feed really unless you want to be sitting their expressing for ages. I've also heard that breast feeding needs to be well established before you can combine the two. How long does this take? I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried to combine the two.
