Need to supplement, spit up thick mucusy saliva from formula
My dd is 5w, due to tongue tie she nursed every hr and didn't get enough, my supply suffered. 2w ago she was sniped and is nursing better, but still not getting enough. Weight is finally birth weight but slow going and she is constantly hungry.
I'm doing a pumping regimine to increase my supply but for time being decided to give her one feeding of formula/day for a few days. We gave her enfamil supplement for bf babies, and she gagged down 1oz before refusing to continue. She spit up a lot of thick mucousy saliva (little formula). I've never seen this before!
Please help with advice/tips.
What formula to try?
Best pumping regimine? Rn I pump every 2hrs for 20 min, next wk will be 2.5hrs, following wk 3hrs. Bottle feed BM in day, nurse at night.
I'm eating oatmeal daily, fenugreek makes her gassy, haven't tried dark beer. Any other things I should try?
