Introducing formula for the nights
Those who were breastfeeding and have introduced formula particularly at night, have you noticed an improvement in babies sleep? Has it affected your supply for the daytimes?

@Amber thank you xx
I do my last bf at night about 11 then give a formula bottle as a top up. My 5 week old is sleeping much better at night since I started. I did try to express to give her a bottle but she feeds so often I found it was a nightmare trying to fit it in during the day and get enough to make it worth it. X

Honestly, I tried this for my twins , and found it made them more gassy as they were used to breastmilk , they ended up not sleeping as well. What I do find works well is if I give them a bottle of expressed breast milk before bed , give me enough of a break to get some.sleep and partner can help feed and stops the risk of me loosing supply etc don't worry about volume of breastmilk my girls will take about a 60-90 bottle of breastmilk and it suits them fine and they are 10 weeks now xx
