What worked for you? Combo bottle feeding and nursing

Hi! I’ll be having my second soon and looking to read about other’s experiences. My goals this time around include starting off nursing and transition to pumping and bottle feeding when my baby goes to daycare at 4 months. I’d also like to establish a good supply earlier.

With baby #1 I nursed for two days and the had trouble with latch so I gave baby formula while I figured out pumping. I started pumping, but was struggling with keeping up a schedule, but would manage usually 6-8 ppd. I also still attempted nursing, but I think baby preferred Dr Browns nipples for the easier flow. Baby was a big eater and eventually I couldn’t match with the needs. Baby was drinking over 30oz and I maxed at about 23oz per day.

For those that successfully transitioned from breast to bottle, what worked for you? Bottles used, pump schedule during nursing time, anything else you can think of.

Thanks!
