hello,
my first daughter lost over 10% bodyweight so had to go into hospital, from then on till 4 months i breastfed 10 mins each side before topping up with formula. basically i lost confidence in my breastfeeding and felt like my milk never came in, we increased the formula amount as per packet instructions.
fast forward to DD2 who is now one month old, the same thing has so far happened. she lost 13% of bodyweight at day 5 so told to top up. we have been doing so but so far she rarely finishes the bottle and set amount she's "supposed" to drink which gives me hope that i'm producing something (ten mins each breast pre-bottle).
SO, has anyone had any experience at weaning baby off formula and back onto bottle? i would LOVE to eventually exclusively breastfeed, i am so up and down about it all. i know it's ok to do both but i would like to give it a try if i can.
has anyone tried fenugreek with any success?
thanks in advance for any replies, every time i go on an advice website i get a bit stressed out by it all and worry i'm doing it all wrong.
