A. hii Alternate your baby’s meals – one formula milk feed, one breast milk feed If you must use both, doctors recommend that you always breastfeed first, and only then top up your feed with formula milk. The reason to do this is because breast milk contains antibodies, which formula milk lacks. Another reason to do this is – feeding with a bottle is easier and requires less effort on the baby’s part. It is also more pleasurable. This is why babies may tend to overfeed if bottle-fed exclusively.
