[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re producing more than he needs, why the formula bottle? Formula is great I’m just wondering if you’re making an extra job for yourself of boiling/mixing/sterilizing while you’re also pumping and nursing.

I would wait this stage out. Soon he’ll be faster and completely getting rid of the dishwashing side of feeding the baby made my life much calmer.[/quote]

OP here. I added formula in because I’m not sure how long I will breastfeed and I wanted to make sure he took formula. I’ve had many friends who had a hard time transitioning their older babies to formula and didn’t want to have that issues.

We don’t boil or sterilize formula. We just use filtered water heated up and powered formula. It takes like 30 seconds to make a bottle. My husband feeds him at night.

My husband is a champ and washes all the pump parts, bottles, and freezes my milk most days. We have a ton of bottles and I have two sets of pump parts.

I mainly pump overnight and in the morning because I get a lot of milk and my baby will only feed on one side during those times. During the day he eats from both and I don’t pump.
