Supplementing

We’ve known for awhile our little one is on the smaller side.. she was born 6lbs 15oz (which is pretty average but small considering my first was 7lbs 7oz and we were bigger as babies and now we are 5’9” and 6’4” not that that matters lol) but she’s now only 11lbs 6oz (she will be 4 months on September 28th).

Anywho.. I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding, like i did with my first, but she just isn’t gaining enough. Doc says she needs more calories and to start supplementing with formula 2 times a day. We’ve been doing this for 2 days and trying to find a good way to set this up. We tried once at night hoping she’d take it and be fuller to sleep, it was an epic fail that ended in me needing to nurse because she refused the bottle. She takes it well during the day though but I’d rather space it out if I can.

Any mommas have recommendations or tips on supplementing? Eventually I will ween from breastfeeding (by choice). But for now I want to just supplement and nurse.
