How to stop supplementing
I nurse my almost 8 week old on demand all day. He nurses as long as he wants as much as he wants. Without fail he has one feeding a day that he’s just too hungry and I have to make him a bottle. The time varies but he seems to be switching it to his night feeding. Will I ever be able to keep up with that and adapt or are some babies just like that and get a bottle for that extra feeding? Also when can I even pump?? I’m bad at marking down sleeps (and diapers) obvi, but usually if he sleeps during the day I take advantage of spending some time with my toddler? Idk how EBF is a possibility with multiple children.

What cues is he giving you up to tell you that he needs a bottle after a feeding?

Thank you!! I just ordered a haakaa so maybe it’ll be easier to manually pump with a baby attached to me all day lol

Well your body does adjust to how much milk you need. So if you can sneak in a pump anywhere in there, it will signal your body to make more. There’s an infographic I’ll post that’s important though. I wouldn’t supplement without pumping because it’s telling your body to make that much less and then you might always be caught in the cycle

Rooting and crying. So I burp him then try a pacifier and still get the same cues. Once he has the bottle he’s completely satisfied.
