May i switch back to breastfeeding if i gave a few formula feeds due to lack of milk supply?

Yes: However,i encourage you to use any supplement as an add on rather than a substitute. Feeding more frequently for 5 min with an ounce of formula at the end can push up your production. The breast empties by 80% in 5 min, only 90 at 10 so brief feeds give most of what you make. Increasing frequency pushes your body to make more.
