Combined breast and formula?

[Claire245]

I’m only 15 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby.

But Iv been thinking whether to breastfeed or not. I’m in two minds.

With my two boys, I didn’t breastfeed as when I tried, it felt so painful so they was formula fed.

They are now 6 and 9.

But I now want to breastfeed (if I can that is)

But...

I was wondering if I can formula feed too aswell as breastfeed??

Is it possible or is it just one or the other?

Thank you

It's definitely possible to do both, but it can be tricky to get going from what I've read as you need to establish your milk supply. I'm on a really good Facebook group called uk breastfeeding support, and plenty of mums on there successfully combination feed & can give you much better advice than I could x
