[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something doesn’t sound right to me - you are pumping, nursing AND supplementing? Maybe change the order of things to stretch out the time between feedings. How about he feeds the baby a formula bottle at 11pm, thus giving you a longer stretch of sleep that may also increase your production before the next feeding?

BTW, doctors and lactation consultants can advise you, but only you and your baby know how to work this out. Why are you pumping on maternity leave? It is really helping your supply more than exclusively breast feeding?

I totally get the desire to supply your own milk, but sometimes your baby needs more than you can make. Also, are YOU drinking and eating enough, in addition to napping whenever the baby does? Helps a LOT with supply.[/quote]

She can't nap when the baby does because she has to cook and clean pump parts[/quote]

:roll: These excuses are as lame as the SAHMs who claim they simply *cannot* work because they need to do important things like pay bills (set up autopay or click a button), bring in the mail or “let in repair people.”[/quote]
