What is combination feeding?
Combination feeding is when you both breastfeed and bottle-feed your baby. The bottle may contain either formula milk or expressed breast milk depending on you and your baby’s needs. Using a combination of breastfeeding and bottle-feeding can help you to feed your baby with a method that suits the needs of both yourself and your child. It is recommended by the World Health Organisation to breastfeed your baby for the first 6 months of its life, but there are many reasons why you may consider combination feeding including:
- Initial difficulties when beginning to breastfeed - you may want to supplement your breastfeeding with formula feeds until breastfeeding becomes easier
- Spending time away from your baby - bottle-feeding can allow your child to have expressed breast milk whilst you are away
- Allowing your partner or a family member to feed your baby which can help them to bond and give you a well-earned rest!
- You are already bottle-feeding your baby, but you would like to start breastfeeding.
