Yet another question
DD is now 10 weeks and we have tried exc bf, mix feeding, back to exc bf and now mix feeding again.
Supply a major issue (as I had stopped bf all together for a few days back in week 2).
DD has bf in the morning and keeps her settled but from about 2pm onwards I "top her up" (my choice, I have tried EVERYTHING to bring supply up and spent week 7 and 8 just bf but she was never settled, didn't poo much and DS spent 2 weeks indoors and was getting too much to handle too).
I want to stop bf at her 5/6pm feed as I bf for over 45 min and she still gobbles down at least 4 oz after that. It is very time consuming and with getting DS dinner and bath too I could use the time. BUT if I drop it will it effect the supply I have in the am? I really want to try and at least make 3 months with her getting some bm.
Oh, I do have to wear nipple shields (she was tongue tied and still can't draw the nipple into her soft palate making bf painful without) so I know that can effect supply too.
Advice welcome.
