When to give forumla?

Question

I'm currently pumping as my daughter can't latch effectively. My supply isn't enough for her and I am having to supplement one 3-4oz bottle a day. I'm not sure if I should give her the formula bottle in the morning or at night? Any thoughts?

Answer

Do you have a lactation consultant that you can go to? From all my research that I’ve done and what mommy friends have told me, her actually trying to feed is the best to stimulate your milk. Only pumping may cause your supply to decrease. But if she isn’t getting fed then yes, I would supplement with formula because no matter what a fed baby is best.

Answer

I was advised to mix formula and breast milk. I give my 3 week old 2 oz breast milk and a half oz of formula.
