What times during the day do you supplement and pump? My LO has to have 2 bottles of formula a day due to poor weight gain and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this. Thanks!

This is supposed to help with the nutrition in your milk, they have a few other supplements that might help too 😁

Do they want you to give 8oz of formula? I would mix it in with the breast milk and give it when you give bottles. How ever you want to mix it. I make just "enough milk" so I'll give my girl some formula mixed in a breastmilk bottle if shes still acting hungry. 😁

Oh goodness... that sounds tough! Have you looked into a supplemental feeding system? Its a bottle that hangs with a tiny tube going to your boob... maybe that would help?

Yes... Unfortunately since his calorie intake is so low, he is a very sleepy boy. I've gotten him down to a diaper, used a cold rag, tickled him, clicked my tongue at him. I've tried everything to keep him awake 😭

Oh... I gotcha... I'm sorry. Ive never breastfed just exclusively pumped. Maybe give him a little formula while you pump? Have you tried getting him undressed to keep him up?
