Combi fed baby question

LO is 18 weeks taking 2 x 180ml bottles of formula and breastfeeding (only latched) How do I know if he’s getting enough through breast milk? I’ve never pumped but would it be too late to start trying? Any advice or comments welcome

If little one is putting on weight and is happy and settled they’re getting enough ☺️

hmm, it can be tough to know for sure, but if your little one seems happy and is gaining weight, that's usually a good sign; and it's never too late to try pumping if you wanna see how much he's getting! here's what the 'Heal Baby Care App' says.... "At 18 weeks, it's normal to wonder if your little one is getting enough milk. Signs that your baby is getting enough breast milk include consistent weight gain, having at least 6 wet diapers a day, and being generally content after feedings. It's not too late to start pumping if you wish to monitor your milk supply or create a stash; many mothers find it helpful for various reasons. Have you noticed any specific concerns about your baby's feeding or growth?"
