Childminder ignoring EBM

Just found out by accident on Friday that my trusted CM (she looks after DD 2 and DS 5m) thinks EBM doesn't fill him up very well so quite often feeds him a 5 oz bottle 15 minutes after a bottle of EBM!
I was in such shock that I didn't know what to say apart from "That would be why he's getting podgy!"
DS goes 2 days a week + 3 afternoons, so quite a lot really.
I know she thinks breastfed babies are more complicated to look after and she probably finds DS quieter when he's full to the brim.
I really struggled to be where I am with my BF and am still taking domperidone, so it really hurts me.
I don't want to fall out with her as she's great otherwise + I am a coward.
What can I say on Monday to set the record straight?
