Would like to BF and bottle feed baby from EBM from word go - how do I do it?

I did this and it works well, especially if you have a nipple injury that needs a rest or you need a sleep.

Be mindful not to over pump because you can end up with sore engorged breasts for longer than need be. But also be careful not to go too long between expressing off either.

Taking a bit extra off after every BF over a day should work out enough for a feed. Newborns have really small tummies so about 50mls or so would do for the first week or two.

My DH would do the night shift. I'd feed at about 10pm then go off to bed. He'd do the next feed (midnight-ish) and put bub to bed then I'd do the next one whatever time that came about.

I have the Avent isis pump and microwave steriliser and it is great. When I lost mine in a move () I had to get another one the same! I was also lent one for a while and they are up to lasting the distance!
