[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. She should see a lactation consultant to make a plan (whether to try to increase supple or to settle on an approach for supplementing).

2. She is aware of you supplementing with a bottle and on board with it, right? I’m fully in the “fed is best” camp, but she’s the mom here, so I’m hoping you’re not doing any of this supplementing without her knowledge. If she would like to work on the goal of increasing supply, everyone needs to be on the same page about the plan, and figuring out how to support. Bottle supplementing could undermine her efforts if not part of a plan. [/quote]

I would never supplement without letting her know secondly she's gone for most of the day and if she isn't pumping how else is he supposed to eat so yes she knows that he is on formula. What I'm saying is when she is home she nurses him for 45 minutes but 10 minutes later he will devour a 4oz bottle because he's screaming from still being hungry which means 45 minutes of him nursing he probably was not getting any milk or sucking hard to get a couple of ounces because even when she pumps she is only getting 1 or 2 oz of milk the only time she gets more than that is if it's been 6 hours since she's breastfed then she'll get 5 oz[/quote]
