Bottle feeding advice

[Bubbles22]

Glad you got some advice kumber. I'm no use at all but just wanted to say fair play to you. Alex clusters in the evenings and Is so fussy when doing it so that must be so hard during the day. Sending hugs xx

We gave a bottle of formula, the difference was amazing! I think we will do a bottle early evening, it's made a very happy and settled little boy, even with boob clusterfeeding!

Kumber I was thinking of doing that for last feed at night to try to get her to go a bit longer at night. Let me know how you get on x

He went his usual 3 hours! He's so much more settled though, he slept like a log which is unusual.

Thanks kumber. Everyone has said to me giving a bottle of formula last thing at night will help her sleep longer but I wasn't convinced. Might get some formula in though for times when I havnet expressed enough. Do you know if it's ok to give the odd bottle of formula, say once or twice a week or does this mess everything up?

It's fine to give it but make sure you express in the same way Alex feeds as soon as possible afterwards so it doesn't affect your supply
