Have any mommies supplemented while breastfeeding? My boyfriend and I are going to Florida for a few days at the end of the month. I'm pumping like crazy but I'm worried I won't have enough to last my little man 4 days.. I'm so nervous to supplement. I'm praying I do not have to.

Enfamil makes a formula just for supplementing and that's what I did

I had to when she was first born and she is fine! If I were you, I would just pump as much as possible. How old is you little?

@babylove15, he just turned 4 months. He just started eating solids also, he will be 5 months exactly when we leave on our trip. I'm dreading this trip but my boyfriend is pushing to go (free trip to florida) 😣😞

It'll be nice to be able to get away, and get that alone time with him! But typically babies eat about 24oz of milk a day (if he eats a lot 30). So you could always try to meet you goal!

I'd pump at least 30 ounces if you can! and just store it in the freezer, I'm sure you can meet a goal in a months time

You can try mothers milk tea.. Always try power pumping it's when you pump for 10 minutes then rest for ten minutes then repeat for a hour. Try to do twice a day for a week. I'm sure you'll see a difference it worked for me. Hope this helps

Yes power pump if you can! Also if he is sleeping through the night.... Waking up to pump at night can help increase your supply and help you store some extra milk away!
