My nearly 4 month old DD is exclusively breast fed. Tried introducing a bottle of formula a few weeks ago to no avail - she point blank refused.
She has recently started waking every 2 hours at night as opposed to every 3 or 4 hours. I don't think I have a great supply of milk - she always seems like she would like more after a feed but then settles. I have a fast and short let down and she then doesn't like to have to work for the hind milk. Feeds are as a result very short and I worry she is not getting enough of the rich milk to fill her up and put on weight. She is not a chubby baby. I have two other DD and feeding experiences where the same. I introduced mixed feeding at this stage with my 2nd DD for this reason.
Any advice?
I wondered whether to try fenugreek to increase supply? I just tried pumping but only got an oz - I know a baby can get more at a feed but I am not sure she is....hence increased night hunger.
Regarding the pumping - I hate trying to fit it in and worry it will 'use up' a valuable feed - I know it works on supply and demand but my supply is in question...
Sorry for rambling - I am feeling very stressed about it - so any advice welcome.
