[QUOTE="Ellie_Wilko, post: 1670212, member: 278560"] I solely bottle fed my baby but with a combination of formula and expressed breast milk. My milk dried up pretty quickly, after about 6/8 weeks because I wasn’t pumping enough! My health visitor said I would have to pump every time my baby was fed to try and mimic natural breastfeeding but for me it just wasn’t possible. I felt pretty good knowing that my baby got breast milk for the first couple of months aswell as pre harvested colostrum when he was born :) Just do what works for you and your baby and just beware that breastfeeding affects your sugars ALOT so have the glucose to hand at all time. Good luck xx [/QUOTE]
