I'm bfing DD2, 3 weeks old. At six weeks we will start trying to give her a bottle in the late evening so I can get a bit more sleep (possibly). I expressed for this for DD1 and it was really grim, took ages and I could never get more than one feed a day out, sometimes not even that. She started having formula for that feed about 6 months. So should I try to express again? Or just give formula for that one feed? A I understand it the thing about bfing and bottle feeding is more about possible nipple confusion, not about whether it's formula or breast milk. Any advice? I'll give expressing a go, but would like to know if I can switch to formula if its awful again or if there are other possible issues I haven't considered.
