Hi there
Last week, we started feeding our six week old baby (now 7 weeks) some formula milk. This was as a supplement to my breast milk, which I was producing less and less of, and it looked like he was hungry and he was not putting on weight.
The idea was to continue breast-feeding as before, and adding a small bottle of formula milk after his morning and evening feeds.
It has worked well. He is happy, seems less hungry and put on a load of weight last week.
However, now it looks like he is impatient with the breast - as if he is used to the faster flow of the bottle and no longer prepared to do the work to get breast milk.
We have been using the Tommee Tippee slow-flow bottle teats, though the flow seems to be pretty fast.
Does anyone have any idea what we can do about this?
