I have EBF Toby since he was born but we are now starting to introduce a bit of formula - at the moment it's just one bottle a day and I will continue to primarily BF for at least another month or so but anticipate in the next couple of months the amount of formula we give him will increase! I had a couple of Qs I was hoping people could help with please.
1. Sounds daft, but how do you know how much to give them? Admittedly while it's been at different times of the day, he has taken both 100ml and 200ml! I'm not sure if he will just take however much we offer, and don't want to offer too little or conversely, too much?! If it helps the 200ml was for the last feed of the day.
2. At the moment we are using pre-prepared bottles of formula as it's so easy and we aren't using so much that it gets very expensive. Might change in a few months time though. Would it be worth switching to powder and buying something like the perfect prep machine, or sticking to the pre prepared stuff as I guess once you take in to account the cost of the perfect prep machine the difference in cost may be negligible? Basically I am lazy, and want the quickest/easiest option but money a consideration too!
Many thanks! :-)
