Here are some general pointers on how to start mix feedings (gathered from this article: http://sg.theasianparent.com/mixed-feeding-everything-you-need-to-know/) - Make sure that breastfeeding is well established (i.e., baby is around 6-8 weeks old) - Reduce the number of nursing session gradually to help both you and your baby adapt to the change - Decide on whether you would like to offer formula feeds before, during, after or instead of a breastfeed (different options will suit different situations) - If you are only doing mixed feeding for a short period and may return to exclusive breastfeeding, express milk between feeds to increase the amount of breast milk you make and keep a steady supply These are just some general pointers, the article provides more information on this topic which you may find helpful.

Mixed feeding is all good but you might actually waste breastmilk (which is precious and hard earned) when you mix if baby doesn't finish the bottle, Instead, feed your baby the pumped breast milk first, and if baby still seems hungry, offer a new bottle with formula.

May I check why mix feelings? To me, if possible, go fully on breast milk. If supply is an issue, increase the demand or pump as much as possible like every 3 hourly.

Plan to wean baby of BM at 1 year.
