in breast-feeding and formula feeding support

Anyone gone from combo feed to straight BF?

My baby is 3 months and I’ve combo def since she was born because i didn’t produce enough milk. But since then Ive made a bit more. She has a lip tie and it hurts to latch her for too long. But it’s gotten better now that shes bigger. Ive been latching her more often. Today shes been on the boob like every hour or so and lasts for like 20 minutes and drinks out of both. I pump if she naps a long time too. Im just worried I’ll starve her. But if she gets really fussy I’ll obviously make her a bottle. Just curious if anyone has gone to mostly BF. ?

Your body will adjust. It might take some work from both of you, but it is possible.

I combo fed and now give a small formula feed here and there but he is mostly EBF. We made the adjustment earlier at 4-6 weeks. I tend to wait until the baby is showing signs of still being a bit hungry then give him a top up 60-90mls he’s 11 weeks now.

I combo fed to start with but now I pretty much EBF. The only time my son has formula is if I need to go out without him if I haven’t pumped, which isn’t very often. If she seems content and she’s having a good amount of wet/dirty nappies you definitely aren’t starving her

We had our sons tongue tie cut when he was 1 week and it made all the difference. Took them 2 seconds and he was just fine after. I would really look into getting it cut! It can impact their speech later so that’s why they recommend that. Also he couldn’t latch properly abd now it doesn’t hurt when I breastfeed!

I did! It took lots of pumping every 3 hours but we made it!!

Same case here: not enough milk
