Hi... my son is 3 weeks old, i am currently breast feeding and i would also like to introduce formula as well. what is the easiest transition for him to get into formula. i still want to breast feed as well.

Formula and breast: It is a difficult to maintain milk supply when formula is added. If you really want to continue to breastfeed, I would recommend continuing that exclusively, which is thought to be the healthiest option. If you do want to switch to formula, you can start with one feeding per day and see how it goes.
