Breast milk not as filling?
If anyone is combi-feeding do you find that your baby drinks way more pumped breast milk than formula?

I am the exact same, combi feeding and she always seems to want more with a bottle of breast milk than formula, but really settles for longer with formula x
Phew thank you guys! She has been having sooo much more breast milk (90-140ml v 60-90ml formula) and don’t want to overfeed but it’s like she’s insatiable in comparison. We’ve been doing formula at night as we notice she sleeps much longer on it too.
Formula takes longer to digest in babies stomachs, they need more breastmilk to satisfy them for the same amount of time as formula! Completely normal x
This is the case with my little one too! I was worried he seems starving after the breast milk!

Yeah I find she always wants more breast milk, and also seems to settle into a longer deeper sleep after formula !
