Combi feeding
How do you combi feed I want to breast feed as much as possible but I’m scared my milk is either low or not very fatty and baby is not putting enough weight on and thinking of adding a bit of formula but not sure how to do this without over feeding but also giving as much breast milk as possible!

@Victoria my LO has been putting on weight super slow since birth in the last appointment she apparently went down again, after reaching her birth weight after a month. I believe my milk supply amount is fine when I pump I get around 100ml from one boob from a session so I feel like it could be the actual milk is not nutritious or fatty enough to help her gain weight. I just want to understand how to combi feed in case it doesn’t improve. I would still love to continue breast as much as possible
Have you spoken to your HV about your concerns or are you in contact with your local infant feeding team? They would probably give you some good advice!

Is there a reason you think your milk is not enough or not fatty? Has the doctor or HV expressed a concern?
