[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always do. My milk doesn't come in for a few days and no need for baby to starve. I nursed until 20 months and 2 years. [/quote]

Oh gosh, this is nature.  They aren’t starving.  Them going bonkers to get that milk to come in is how it’s supposed to work.  They definitely won’t starve otherwise humans wouldn’t have survived this long.[/quote]

Ok but WHY would you want to torture your baby for them to “go bonkers” because they are hungry for the first few days? You don’t get a special badge for never having given your baby a drop of formula.

OP, I had two early babies so it was never a question of not supplementing as both were sub 6 lbs at birth. They got those RTf bottles at the hospital and at home while also nursing. I went on to pump/nurse the bulk of my first baby’s milk and essentially exclusively with my second baby. It’s fantastic to top them off and give yourself peace of mind that they are full and satisfied, vs being panicked about whether or not they are getting enough, especially in those first few weeks.[/quote]
