Okay momma's, I'm looking for some advice.(This is going to be long) I have been breastfeeding my daughter since birth(she's almost a month and a half old.), a week ago we started to introduce a bottle of breast milk because my SO wanted to get the chance to bond when he was home. I was producing enough milk that pumping didn't effect my daughter still strictly breastfeeding during the day. I was able to make sure my SO had one three ounce bottle every night before bed. To say the least my living situation has been pretty stressful and it's starting to cause my milk supply to start to dry up over the last few days. It's not to horrible but I can tell my daughter is effected by it. During the day she will really struggle to fall asleep because she is so hungry but I have no milk. My SO suggested we try to supplement in the meantime so I can continue to pump and build my supply and feel comfortable she is being fed enough at the same time. I'm open to the idea but have no idea where to start formula wise with my little girl having only ever had breastmilk. And considering I only plan to use it for a short time I want her transition to be as smooth as possible. Any ideas and suggestions are welcome mommas!

definitely supplement for baby girl! I am having a few issues but my supply is finally picking up, but we supplement a few ounces here and there. I think the stress is a ginormous factor though.

@pambays I've tried everything :( my main concern is just the stress causing me to dry up. Hence wanting to supplement for the moment so I can focus on pumping and building my supply back up without the added stress that my little girl isn't getting enough food from me.

agreed, but pumping can help increase your supply, your body doesn't know the diffrence between baby and pump. it feel demand it'll try to supply. the stress is a huge factor though. are you trying supplements? like for you. prenatals mother milk tea. oatmeal. stuff like that is supposed to help A LOT
