Feeding

My 3 day old just won’t settle tonight, she keeps wanting to feed and we’ve fed her 3oz at 9pm and then 2 oz at 10:22pm and 1oz at 11:43pm as she just wouldn’t settle. I don’t want to be over feeding her but she’s just constantly sucking for a feed and will guzzle down a bottle. Anyone have any advice please

Why is it okay to breastfeed after one but not formula feed?

We’re in a predicament as we should be transitioning to cows milk but baby has a cows milk allergy and we have BOXES of special formula to get through. Why can we reduce her bottles while still on formula, and then continue to use it along side, or mixed with non dairy milk until it’s used up? She’s 13 months

Milk supply

How do I increase my supply. My Little is 2 weeks old and is eating 5 oz every bottle and I can only pump 1 oz at a time. Should I just dry up my milk at this point? I hate seeing him have to have formula but at this point as long as he is fed I can deal with it. I’ve dried the cluster pumping thing, the cookies and...
