Hi
DS is 20 weeks and is long and weighs a rather heavy 18lbs. Everything was going well until 2 weeks ago i did my back in (badly), then got mastitis, then got stressed and miserable due to family issues. Milk supply dropped and whilst one side has managed to get back to normal, the milk looks more like skimmed milk rather than then double cream, full fat stuff i had been pumping out before. DS now hungry so have started him on formula whilst i pump and then feed him a couple of pumped feeds from me and then from the boob during the night. He is far happier with the formula and i am just wondering if his demands are now more than what i can provide.
For his best interests is it time to go full throttle with the formula - or at least for the majority of feeds?
Thanks
