I know plenty of moms who do both, but it all depends on your baby.

Sure, it can be done... DD has had my milk in a bottle a few times... DH or Mom gave it to her which I highly recommend! She fussed with the bottle and prefers the real deal but some babies adapt just fine! Go for it Chat Icon

It can be done! I did that in the beginning but DD started preferring bottle to boob, and I wanted to her have boob more, since I HATE pumping. I re introduced the bottle around 2 months old and she goes back and forth just fine now even though it was a struggle with her when I try to re introduce it.

It worked for us...to a point She was 99% BF in the beginning, but from Day 1 (literally) she had 1 bottle of formula in the middle of the night. I expanded that around 2 mos. to 1 bottle of formula at night and 1 at midday. That was working great and I didn't want to give up the BF.

I am a teacher and so at work pumping is not an option (not to mention, I did NOT like pumping), but I wanted to continue to BF. My SIL who also teaches, assured me it could be done. She did it for a year--formula during the day, BF while at home.

Unfortunately, I leave for work around 6am while DD is asleep, so could not BF. I tried to BF for the 2-3 feedings after I got home, but my supply quickly dried up within a few days since I couldn't get the AM feeding in--SIL could, that's why it worked for her. I was so sad to know I had to stop completely!

Well, long story short--it really does depend both on your baby and your situation.

Good luck!!!!

I BF and bottle fed. I BF Caiden for 1 year, but from the time he was 6 weeks old (when he had to start daycare), they were giving him the bottle during the day. We had absolutely no problems. Good luck!
