My toddler has been weaned off breast milk for around a year. I have a newborn and am expressing and latching at the same time. I'm wondering if I should give my excess milk to my toddler to drink as I'm afraid she might be used to the taste of formula and not want breast milk anymore. Anyone has the same experience? And what is the best way to give the milk to my toddler? Do I mix it with formula?

i think instead of letting it go to waste you can definitely mix it with your toddler's formula. if you feel that your toddler is entirely weaned off and may not like it, you can start with very small amounts. see how your toddler takes it and whether she even realises the same. if it's not a problem, you can actually add more of the breastmilk to the formula. make the formula milk the way you do and then add a bit of your milk to it.
