Supplementing with formula?

Question

My supply has taken a major dip (normally pump anywhere between 4-9oz per session, past few times I've been lucky to get 2-3oz combined) I have a strong feeling I'm gonna have to supplement with formula sooner rather than later (was planning on supplementing when I go back to work when baby is 4 months old) does anyone have any tips for supplementing?

Answer

I had to start supplementing 1-2 bottles a day with my 3 week old on Friday because my supply tanked, I went from 4-6oz each pump to barely 2. (I exclusively pump) I started eating oatmeal twice a day and drinking a cramp ton of water, and this morning I was up to 2oz on one side and 1.5 on the other! Hopefully by the end of the week I'll be able to forgo formula at least until I go back to work. I've heard the mothers milk tea helps a lot too.

Answer

Try to increase your supply before supplementing. I drank several cups of mothers milk tea a day, a ton of water - like over 120 ounces a day, you can find recipes online for lactose cookies that work w Brewers yeast, eating oatmeal helps.

Answer

I wasn't producing as well, i am happy i got at least a little time with breastfeeding since with my first i didn't produce at all.  For me finding a nipple that looks like MY nipple helped with nipple confusion.  Also finding the right formula that didnt give lo gas for us it was enfamil prosobee soy base.
