I exclusively breastfeed, haven't had to supplement or anything, but I keep doubting my supply. I feel like she's not getting enough and it made me think about formula and I don't want to do that until at least after 6 months...
The good thing is that it had no effect on her breast feeding since I used a syringe. She didn't notice. It actually made her want to nurse more because she thought she was getting more milk. Then a few days later my supply increased a ton. Hopefully you find something that works!
@6.5.16, thank you! @lvna I'm trying to find other methods to increase my supply it's stressful. I might have to try your method.

If your dr said shes got gaining enough, try supplementing while you breastfeed. What I did was get a tiny syringe and squeeze milk into her mouth as she breast fed. I only did it for about a week until my milk supply increased. I know you dont want to supplement buy its the next best thing.
@lvna, I hope so too! thanks!
