We used both, we started with formula because my wife had shallow nipples, and it took some time for latching not to be an excruciating feeling for her. We pumped as well, and the baby drank both, and now he’s a giant.

My daughter was born tiny. She received a mix of formula and milk. What made her shoot up was food. She jumped from the fifth percentile to the 68th .

Yup, similar with my wife. My kid was mostly on formula for the first several weeks as well for the same reason.

My mother revealed to me that both my brother and I were 100% formula, which I had not known. However, the reason for that was that the doctor (late 60s) told her that breastfeeding would ruin her figure so she didn't do it. :)

Same here. As much as my wife wanted to only breast feed our son, it wasn’t in the cards. He got a mix of breast milk and formula and we have had no issues. Funny enough he’s almost 10 now in the 99th percentile for height. Go figure.
