Combination (or mixed) feeding
Mixed feeding usually comprises offering the baby bottles of milk (formula or expressed breast milk) as well as breastfeeding. Once breastfeeding is established then introducing a bottle can be beneficial for many families.
You may want to combine breastfeeding with bottle feeding.
For example, if you:
- are breastfeeding and want to express milk to give your baby by bottle
- want to breastfeed for some of your baby’s feeds but give infant formula for one or more feeds by bottle
- are bottle feeding your baby and want to start breastfeeding
