Good idea?

So recently I've been considering trying to breast feed Daisy.

I've no reason as to why I just feel it may be better for her.

The thing is she's been on formula for a week tomorrow, will alternating her feeds between breast and bottle be bad for her? I just wanna try her out see if she takes better? Xx

Dont know for sure as ive only ever breastfed, it may work i know theres people who feed both breast and formula so dont think it would harm her. Breast milk is easier for them to digest anyway. Good luck if you do try x

Now I just need to figure out how to get her to latch! Xx

definitely a good idea if you are keen to try again. given she had problems latching before, I would strongly recommend you get a lactation expert to supervise the first time. maybe there's a breastfeeding clinic near you (our hospital has a clinic in house which we can attend for the first six weeks to help with any problems)

Go for it! It'll be hard work at first while you and baby learn how to but so rewarding! And if you can exclusively bf in the future then its so much less work I promise! Good luck xx

Try lots of skin to skin time, see if she will try searching for it.
