Can I regulate my breastfeeding?

Question

I feel like I don’t produce quite enough to feed my son ALL breastmilk so I have been supplementing with formula and that works fine. I would love fine giving him mostly formula during the day and breastfeeding for bed and anytime he wakes up in the night and early morning. Is there a way to train my body for that or is it even possible? How do you do it if so?

Answer

your body will adjust to his feedings but keep in mind you could risk lowering your supply

Answer

How old is your baby? Your supply isn’t well established until around 12 weeks. Prior to that it would be really risky to try only night feedings. 
If your baby is over 3 months, it may be possible. You may have to pump a few times during the day in the beginning. Usually your body will adjust to what’s required. It’s the same concept when your baby starts sleeping through the night. Your body will adjust to not being emptied overnight. 
I weaned my baby from all daytime feedings at 12 months. We only nurse at bedtime now. Keep in mind, my supply was established and well regulated at 12 months.

Answer

More you feed him with breast milk more supply you have

Answer

That’s my concern.. right now I nurse at 5am, pump at 10, pump at 3, and nurse at 7 and then anytime he wake up. So I’m afraid if I cut back on nursing I could dry up.
