Breast milk / formula question
I've been mostly pumping BM and supp with formula. Last few days my milk supply has been decreasing, even though I've been pumping every few hours, drinking water etc. Did anyone else stop BFing or pumping after a few weeks? I want to try to give DS some BM for at least 8 weeks or so - he's 4 weeks now. I feel bad but it's physically and mentally draining plus what can I do if it's not coming in more....

Re: Breast milk / formula question
The pump never produces as much as the baby can get out.....do you want to try BF directly or continue pumping?
If you want to only pump....oatmeal, LOTS o water (I drank like 100 ozs a day!!!) and one of those mothers milk teas or something like that.
Good luck!! It's the hardest thing I EVER did in my life!
