How many moms breastfeed & give baby formula? I started formula because I noticed my baby doesn't really get full with my breast 😣

I give my daughter one bottle of formula a day cause of her low birthweight

I did and it sabotaged breastfeeding. Every time you give your baby formula you have to pump or your supply will go down.

How many oz would one bottle be? I only give him 2oz 😣 @amaperalta03

I pumped last night and got 2oz out of it. I still breastfeed him but he cries and wakes up out of his sleep hungry again @mw0609

2oz bottle the whole day right? And the rest breastfeeding? I notice he throws up to is it because the formula is to heavy? @amaperalta03

How do you know he isn't getting full? It's normal for breastfed babies to eat more often than with formula fed babies because our milk metabolises faster. Also, your baby boy has reached the mark where cluster feeding is frequent. He is drinking more often to keep up with his speedy growth. Nursing as often as every 30 minutes can be very normal. Also if you're nursing and still able to pump 2oz of milk, it's very likely that you have a great supply and he's getting more than enough milk. If he throws up the formula, most likely his tummy doesn't like it.

I have no clue lol but I do know new burns cluster feed especially while nursing. You may think your not filling him up but you actually are. It's just common for them to cluster feed when their this small

I also bottle feed my baby my breast milk and I actually get to see how much she drinks and she still cluster feeds

You're right! Should I stop with the formula? @arivera64

I would. If he is having the right amount of wet diapers AND you are clearly getting good milk when you pump....you're doing just fine mama. Trust your body and don't doubt yourself. You're doing great.

He is peeing constantly and pooping to. And thank you 😐 I was getting desperate honestly I kept asking myself what else did I have to do because he would cry a lot until I hold him he would calm down. @arivera64
