I would like to know if it is possible to do both breast and formula?

I had a c-section & it took 3 days 4 my milk to come in. I did both for three months before drying up with no problems.

As you can see from the posts above, you will dry up sooner than you should if you supplement with formula. It is best to breastfeed for at least 6 months to a year. You can keep your milk longer if you pump when you have to be away from your baby. I at all possible, take the baby with you.
