    If she wants to bf exclusively then i'd advice against giving formula.
    Breast milk is produced by supply and demand. So if you top up with formula then she will stop producing milk.

    As for the hiccups it could just be a little bit of nipple confusion (between breast/bottle) and is gulping too fast on the bottle because milk is harder to extract from the breast if that makes sense.
