My baby is 4 months old, and I’ve been breast feeding and supplementing with formula. I was on the mini pill but I was uncomfortable taking it. Also my period came back right away after i had my baby, it never stopped even when I was breast feeding exclusively. So how likely am I to get pregnant?

Will breast feeding and supplementing hurt a baby?

T asked:


My wife is breast feeding our son but she isn’t producing enough milk. So we’re feeding him until the the milk is gone but find out that he is still hungry. So we are having to fill him up with formula. Is this going to hurt or affect the baby and would it affect the the woman from producing anymore milk.
