Read in-depth answer here. Moreover, can I add formula powder to breast milk?
You should NEVER add undiluted powdered infant formula or concentrated liquid formula directly into your breast milk, and you should NEVER use your breast milk in place of water to mix concentrated or powdered infant formula.
Also Know, can I add a little water to breast milk? 3 Answers. Breastmilk is about 80-90% water as it is, so there really is no need to add additional water to it. Water use is also discouraged for the reason you used it: newborns can fill up on water, so they should not be given water. (It's like filling up on cookies instead of an actual meal.
Accordingly, how do you combine breastmilk and formula?
If you're using formula that needs to be prepared (like powdered infant formula), mix and prepare according to the directions first, before adding it to your breast milk. Do not add the powdered formula directly to your breast milk. (This doesn't apply if you're using ready-to-feed formula.)
Can I give breastmilk and formula at the same time?
It's perfectly possible to combine breastfeeding with bottle feeding using formula milk or expressed breastmilk. If you can, wait until your baby's at least eight weeks old. Combining breast and bottle sooner than this may affect your milk supply. Try dropping one feed a week, perhaps starting with a daytime feed.
