Summary
Mixing breast milk with formula is permissible, especially in cases of necessity such as a mother with low milk supply. The prohibition arising from breastfeeding still applies if the quantity of breast milk is greater than the formula or other mixture. Other conditions are completing five full feedings to satiety and ensuring the infant drinks all of the mixed milk, so that all the breast milk is certain to reach the stomach.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum mencampurkan susu ibu dengan susu formula adalah harus terutamanya dalam keadaan darurat seperti para ibu yang menghadapi masalah kekurangan susu disebabkan sakit atau hormon yang tidak stabil
