ExpertSHRUTI KANCHANLactation Educator and Counselor2 years agoA. Here are some best practices for mixed feeding a 5-month-old baby:
1. Breastfeed first before offering formula.
2. Offer a smaller amount (2-4 ounces) of formula as a top-up feed if your baby is still hungry after breastfeeding.
3. Observe your baby's hunger and fullness cues to determine the amount of formula needed.
4. Maintain a breastfeeding routine and feed on demand.
5. Use a slow-flow nipple and practice paced bottle feeding when offering formula.
6. Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance and support.
