Nearly 6 mo is so hungry, seems to prefer ff to bf. How can I ensure supply doesn't run out?

We are literally 2 days into baby led weaning so DS will be relying on milk feeds for a good while longer for sustenance. He is showing signs of preferring the bottle of formula over bfing. Some bfs he seems content but mostly he grizzles and keeps coming off, looking at me like and . I am keep to keep bfing for the convenience factor even though we ff at night now to help with sleeping. Sort of bfing as often as possible, what else can I do to keep it going? Or should I switch to ff to make sure he is getting enough?

That should be 'keen to keep bfing'. And 'short of bfing'. Sorry.

i wonder if its the bottle he likes?

How about if you express breast milk and give it to him in a bottle..... although that is even more faff than formular feeding, and certainly much much less convieniant than breast feeding from the breast

Some babies do show a bottle preference at this age, as it is less effort for them. I think really if you want to continue breastfeeding you need to cut out the bottles - maybe use cups instead for formula?
