How does supplementing work? I've always breast fed my daughter but the hospital gave me some samples to use if I felt…

Thank you @isabellesmomma212 !! I like the Similac Advance too and so did Maddy

I didn't know Gerber had a breastfeeding supplement. lol I have Similac Advance and it works great for my daughter. She doesn't have gas problems though so hopefully you find a brand that's helps with that. Also, I totally stand by Tommee Tippee bottles for breastfeeding. I know every baby is different when it comes to what works for them but I love them and so does my daughter and they come in cute colors too. 😊

Thanks @emkasting !! How often and how much do you give O of the supplement?

Also I found since I breast feed that the bottles Oakley takes best are the munchkin latch and playtex bottles with the natural latch nipples. I like both of them because they keep a lot of air from getting in to baby's tummy because of the vent system they both have on the bottom

I have to supplement with formula because I just don't make enough milk to keep up with what Oakley eats. Gerber goodstart makes a formula that's specifically made for supplementing

You're welcome. Glad I could help

Thank you! @mommy_of_02 That's the one I usually have her Grammy use if she babysits and I have breast milk saved up :)

Tommie tippie

What breastfeeding bottles do you suggest? I have a Tommie Tippee and a Dr. Browns with the vent system. @mommy_of_02

Since she's fussy I would give her the gentle ease in the purple can because you never know if it's gas. While she's getting full she'll also be treated for gas. And just make sure to use a breastfeeding bottle so later on she'll be ready to latch again.

She will be 7 weeks on Wednesday @crunchymomma and she's been cluster feeding her whole life lol

I got Similac Advance from the hospital and then I got these samples in the mail @isabellesmomma212

could your daughter be cluster feeding? your profile says she's 1 month old so she should be due for a growth spurt.

It really depends on the brand you have and a little bit of formula shouldn't cause to much of a problem. What are the kinds you have?

I have no milk saved up because I had to use it when I had literally nothing left. I'm trying to drink crazy amounts of water and I'm about to eat oatmeal and I've been taking Fenugreek. She's just nursing so much I don't have any milk and she's so hungry :( I'm afraid her tummy will hurt worse if I give her formula. @isabellesmomma212

If you have pumped any milk you can do half and half with breast milk and formula or just make a formula bottle and give it to her. I had to supplement a few times because my daughter was under weight and I couldn't keep up a supply to feed her.
