i fed my newborn (5weeks old) both breast milk and formula, she doesnt latch on for very long as she starts to pull at my nipple with her mouth as my milk is too slow for her at the begining an she is to impatient to wait for it to flow properly(and so am i as she will start screaming if its not going fast enough!lol) so i express out about 200-250 mls of breast milk per day for her to feed on and the rest of her bottles are formula,i find that formula also fills her up alot more and she seems more content with it as for the breastmilk she needs alot of it for it to fill her up. its completly your choice!dont let people make your mind up for you!
