Hi All,

I would like to ask how to do mixed feeding I means breast feeding and formula feeding,

I am feeding my twin every three hrs so I need to feed one time on breast and other time in formula or just 15 to 20 min in breast and then give some formula.

Please be advice

Kind regards

I'd feed breast first every time then top up with formula if needed.

I do mixed feeding too but I use breast pumps to express the milk. I used to give all the milk I could express at one time and then top up with formula but noticed lately that he can get fussy sometimes when I change during one feeding so I express enough for one feeding over 2 pumping sessions and give full feed of breastmilk at one feeding and full formula on next.
