Do you supplement with formula ?

Question

Since milk doesn’t usually come for few days after you give birth, do you supplement with formula until then?

Answer

Nope. 
You have colostrum immediately and that’s more than enough for babe!

Answer

Colostrum is all the baby needs until your milk supply comes in. Cluster feeding also helps your milk supply come in and helps it increase, it does not mean baby isn't getting enough to eat.

Answer

Here’s info from an IBCLC about baby losing weight after birth.

Answer

No, colostrum is all baby needs. Just let baby nurse as often as they want to and they will have plenty until your milk comes in but your milk should come in the next day. You'll wake up engorged and know your milk is in. Still let baby nurse whenever they want after that.

Answer

No. Colostrum is all baby needs. Formula will only delay supply coming in properly.

Answer

No. Definitely not.

Answer

Supplementing in those early days can potentially mess up your supply. Your body produces enough colostrum for baby until then (their tummies are super tiny)

Answer

No. All that does is start off with messing up your supply right away since you need to tell your body baby wants to eat. Move milk to make milk needs to start right away.

Answer

Yes. A lot of babies lose to much weight because moms think colostrum is enough, and for some babies it isnt.
