supplementing with breastmilk?

Question

I am exclusively pumping my 7w old son. He NEVER whether it's during the day or night sleeps longer than 30-45 mins at a time. I'm curious if I should try supplementing with a formula maybe before bedtime to see if that helps him sleep longer throughout the night? Has anybody tried this, or maybe have some other tips?

Thanks!!

Answer

I have been exclusively pumping, and my supply has suddenly started running very low. I had enough stocked to keep her fed for a few days, but I wanted to start transitioning. She has started sleeping better, and for longer. Last night, she was up for an hour between 1-2 a.m. But, she had gone to bed at 10, and then slept until 8 after she went back to sleep. I'm not saying to supplement, but my experience with it has been great. She has also had no tummy problems while making the switch, but that does happen sometimes.
