Hello - I am not sure if this should be on the breastfeeding board or the bottle feeding board
My LO is nearly 10.5 months old and has been combination fed from about day 12, since I had supply issues (long story but I was told to top up with formula and a midwife came and fed my daughter her first bottle, so I didn't have a choice - still bf-ing though and no regrets!).
She's on two feeds a day now, and I still do a breastfeed first and then formula, before breakfast and before her bedtime routine. With the bedtime milk, it's impossible now to get her to take any formula unless she is allowed to flit between the boob and the bottle. She seems to prefer the boob most of the time. If she doesn't have the boob at all it's hard to get her to take formula, which is weird because for quite a while I think she probably preferred the bottle and would easily sink 7oz after a breastfeed. Now she starts to fuss after 1oz. I have never trusted my supply that much even though I am still breastfeeding so I get a bit worried if she bats the bottle away like that. I can usually get her to drink about 3oz of formula but this is only after a bf of maybe 7 mins and then flitting between the two after I think she is done on the boob.
I know this sounds like a bit of an odd problem but I am going away for a night soon and worried that it will be impossible to get her to drink her bedtime milk! I just wondered if anyone had had any experience of this?
Sorry if I should have posted on the other board!
