I haven't been able to bf 8wo ds so I've been expressing as much as possible and also giving formula as I can't express enough to keep up with how often he feeds, although my supply is good and I get about 5oz in total each time I express.
Would I be able to just express a few times a day (and feed more formula) or would I stop producing enough milk? Is it still beneficial for ds to have breast milk if it's only 2 or 3 feeds a day? I hate sitting attached to the breast pump and if ds is being fussy then I struggle to find the time to express as often as I should but I don't want to stop giving him breast milk if it will benefit him to have it.
