breastfeeding help

hi i am due my second baby in dec and want to breastfeed just wondered can u use formula while breast feeding aswell ?

hope someone can help

Yes it's fine to combine the two. It's best to wait until your supply is established fully which is around 6 weeks as BFing works on a supply and demand basis.

The formulas are all pretty much the same now, regardless of what people say. It is mnufacturing to make sure yours is as good as others so they do lol

They are all similar. Just buy a few cartons and see what your LO likes. Dont believe the 'closest to breastmilk' bollocks....it's just to try to get you to buy a certain one. They are all just as good, it's personal preference
