Topping baby up with formula bottle
Discussion
Thanks for the advice, tried a few topup bottles and it kind of does what we need it to, stops him breastfeeding endlessly and means MrsHill can express more effectively sometimes and get some rest at other times, and I can organise feeding sometimes rather than being helplessly reliant.
But - I never realised how disgusting formula milk is, I wouldn't be drinking it and whoever said it was like vanilla ice cream was bang on, apart from the flavour, it's like a thick gritty sugary liquid (the powder mixed stuff anyway) as opposed to the almost cantaloupe juice of breast milk. And it's turned his nappies from a sweet banoffee pie to some greenish hell that looks and smells like someone ate some sick, shat it out and then someone ate that s
t and then sicked it up again. Maybe he's just adjusting to it but I wish he'd hurry up. 
So emergency topup but the traditional way still works best for us 90% of the time.
