I'm both breastfeeding and giving formula. Should I breastfeed first at meals and then finish with formula?

If you're breastfeeding and giving formula, you should always give breast first. Your baby will empty the breast when hungry, which stimulates milk production and ensures they get the most valuable part of feeding. A full baby might refuse the breast; when the breast goes first, your baby empties it well. After the breast is fully emptied, if your baby is still hungry, you finish with formula. This order is the most effective way to maintain your milk supply. I don't know how old your baby is or how many formula feedings they get daily, but this general rule applies.
