--Why did you start? What formula do you use? When did you start? How much do you breastfeed vs. formula feed? How long will you continue? Etc.!
I started when my lo was 2-3 weeks old because she wasn't gaining weight. The doctor said I could go back to exclusively breastfeeding when my milk supply increased, but it never increased enough, sadly. Baby girl is now 14 weeks old. I use Alimentum due to her reflux, colic, & fussiness. She is on the breast about 2-3 hours a day & gets about 12oz of formula on average. She also may get some pumped breast milk if I was able to get any. I hope to be able to keep breastfeeding as long as possible, but I'm afraid that my milk may entirely disappear soon 😔
