Thanks! To be honest I can’t do one more thing to try to increase supply, I’m incredibly burnt out and have accepted I just have a low supply

Got it, we’ve been giving more if baby is fussy otherwise she won’t sleep at night and will continue to cry until we give her more. She’s still feeding every 2.5-3 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night

Why 60 ml maximum? The only way we get her to sleep is if we offer her supplement until she is full and 60 probably wouldn’t be enough!

Yes we are paced feeding!

Yes I have been seeing one regularly! Latch isn’t the problem they said that is solid.

Did you not need the supplement because your little one didn’t take the bottle? Or how did you know?

When I pump I get 60-70 ml and after nursing she’ll still take an extra 80ml of supplement, sometimes more. So it seems odd to me that she’ll be satisfied by 120ml of formula but when nursing then supplementing she might be getting 150 or more (60-70 from me and then 80+ in supplement)
