any tips on bf? I put baby boy on the breast every time and pump, he's hungry, he has a good latch and suck but he can't seem to get full. I've been supplementing with similar formula supplement after he unlatches himself. I'm very frustrated. I have lactation cookies and milkmade tea. I don't know what else to do. he sleeps well after he's full.

Your milk may not be strong enough. You may have enough, but may not be strong enough.

just keep latching him. don't give in. my milk didn't come in till 5 days after he was born... after a sleepless night of hearing him cry my milk finally came in... I was frustrated and cried but now I have a huge supply. I didn't supplement, the nurse told me the colostrum that cones out is enough for a week for them...

Even tho you have enough milk, it may not be strong enough. You need to talk to your midwife or doctor about it. I may be wrong but my mom ended up not having strong enough breast milk to feed me so had to switch to formula.
