Hi,
DD is 5 weeks old and I have been supplementing with formula due to lack of weight gain. At the moment, I top her up after every BF and we are in a three hour EASY. She takes about 2oz after each BF session. She is feeding only for ten mins max at each BF and I think my milk is slowly drying up. I did the same with DS and I remember that at one point I switched to alternating BF and FF feeds, instead of topping up and doing both at each feed. I have forgotten how I did it and for how long, so I have some questions..l
1. Is this a good idea to alternate or will it speed up the process of my milk drying up?
2. What is the best way to drop a feed and is there as best one to drop?
3. Has anyone had any success with this when their milk supply is low anyway - I am worried I won't have enough at a feed to satisfy her only with the breast.
Thanks!
