Can you mix breast milk and formula??????

Hi everyone, just wondering if you can mix the two in the same bottle, he only had one at night, i'm sure i've seen on here that you can but just wanted to know and if anyone else has done it?

I've heard you definitely can....no reaction with the 2 milks mixing or anything like that.

Not generally advised, though, because you don't want to waste the breastmilk if anything is left over iykwim.

I usually give the breastmilk first then formula and toss out any leftover formula in the bottle.

Yes you can mix! I did for the first week when I was still trying to bf. Like mentioned you just dont want to waste any. I would give my breast milk mixed with a little formula (probably only came to one ounce) and then I'd give the rest of the formula.
