I had started trying to feed him before naps in an effort to curb the marathon feed at bed time.  But now I'm thinking that I need to try to cut out that extra feed before nap and try to get him to settle without it.  Will also try increasing his A time a little.  I doubt that I have an oversupply, TBH I think I just barely have enough to meet his needs.

Sadly, I had to return to work this week so he now gets LOTS of bottles.  :(  I'm hoping that he won't stop nursing when I'm home!  I have 3 day weekends, so maybe that will help, who knows...

I've heard people recommend using the slowest flow teat in the bottle so he has to work for the milk and it isn't so much easier for them than breast feeding.
