[quote=Anonymous]I have been heavily supplementing since birth. The reason I don’t exclusively breastfeed is because of very very low supply (we are talking 0.5 oz to 0.75 oz per feed or pumping session including both sides). My baby is now 3 months old and eats about 30 oz of formula a day so the vast majority of nutrition is coming from formula but I put baby to breast before most feedings so he gets some breast milk. I have done what I can to increase supply (seen two different lactation consultants) and there’s no change. It seems I may just not have enough glandular tissue. I do like nursing and I have been hopeful that baby is getting some good things (including antibodies from my Covid vaccine) but I also think hormones are causing me to hold on to extra weight which I’d like to lose now. I feel bad since it’s a vanity thing but I’m not sure how much benefit my baby is really getting given what a small percentage of his diet is breast milk. [/quote]
