Hi Im new
I have a 9 week old little girl who I have been breastfeeding. I have pretty much exclusively breastfed apart from odd bottle of breast milk when I have had to leave her. The last few weeks things have gone wrong a bit. I had to go away for the weekend without her and I left her with as much breast milk as I had and she also had some formula - the week after I had to leave her again overnight as my mother was ill and I had to be with her. When I left her both times I didnt get chance to express much - I only did it when I got very painfully full. Anyway since then I feel my supply has been very low to the point that I have been adding in more and more bottles - I thought I was ok with this as I wanted the flexibility of mixed feeding - now though Im feeling sad that breastfeeding may be going altogether.
When I latch her on she isnt settled at all and seems to of gone off the breast but when she gets given a bottle she takes it very well - does she prefer her bottle to me??
I have been trying to feed her by the breast as much as I can to boost supply back up but with two other kids and a hectic life at the moment Im struggling and end up resorting to the bottle
Sorry for the waffle
My questions are
How do I boost supply again
Can I mix feed
Thanks
