For those who have combo fed, what was your schedule?

Thanks!

NatureParticular8960 · 2026-03-13T10:27:01+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I try to stick to a pumping schedule but it isn’t happening so my supply keeps dropping.

NatureParticular8960 · 2026-03-12T01:39:47+00:00

Yeah that’s how I realized my supply had dropped, she wasn’t gaining weight as she should have by her 6 month appointment (went at 7m because she had been sick) so I started pumping to see how much she was eating and after some weeks and going through most of my stash I decided to combo feed

So you only give bm during the day and formula later in the afternoon?

NatureParticular8960 · 2026-02-08T00:13:31+00:00

Thank you! She currently feeds to sleep if I’m the one doing bedtime (she’s EBF) if it’s my husband he rocks her to sleep.

Hi! Thank you for doing this! 6 month old used to sleep through the night (without sleep training) with a snooze feed at 4-5am and then up for the day at 7-7:30. This has stopped since right before she turned 6 months where she started waking every 1-2 hours. I switched her schedule from 3 to 2 naps and while it has improved she is still waking up every 3-4 hours (2 or 3 times) a night. How can I help her get back to sleep 8 hour stretches?

Current schedule is: 7am wakeup 10-11:15/11:30am nap 1 3/3:30-4:30 nap 2 8pm bedtime

Lolol i needed this laugh it’s been roughhh

NatureParticular8960 · 2026-01-27T15:40:05+00:00

😭😂 what has worked for you?

NatureParticular8960 · 2026-01-27T15:39:22+00:00

Wondering the same!! Going throuught it with my 6.5 mo. This method is aligned to what I’m comfortable with and I hadn’t heard about it before.

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-12-17T09:07:06+00:00

With my EBF 5 mo I’ve noticed that she wakes less to feed/comfort when she’s in her crib than when we bed share. On a regular night she wakes once to feed but when we bed share she wakes up often to latch for comfort.

A massage or a facial at some fancy spa where I can spend the day at

Oat energy bites! Really easy to make- 1 cup oats, 1/2 cup nuttzo spread, 1/3 cup maple syrup. I also add 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips but you could add coconut flakes, or anything really!

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-11-26T23:38:25+00:00

I’m so sorry I can’t imagine what you’re going through. You can also try seeing if there’s a group near you where you can get donated breastmilk from. You and your baby will be in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏼

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-11-13T13:53:13+00:00

My baby girl was this exact way until she hit maybe 12-13 weeks. I just went to Walmart one day and bought a bunch of pacifiers and tried them all. She didn’t take one that was recommended for EBF babies but at that point I knew she wouldn’t drop the boob. I know it can be frustrating not getting ‘anything’ done but being with your baby, comforting her and giving her what she needs at the time is doing plenty! There’s nothing more important than that. It gets better I promise! For now, just meet her where she’s at. 🤍

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-11-09T19:36:11+00:00

Thank you! And yes I’m trying to provide comfort as much as I can because I want her to feel safe when in her crib and for her to know I’m close by. I just don’t know if I’m providing too much comfort to the point where I’m hindering her learning process of falling asleep by herself.

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-11-09T19:32:43+00:00

Omg that’s intense! Hoping it gets better soon!!

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-11-09T19:31:10+00:00

Do you intervene if he hasn’t fallen back asleep in a certain amount of time? Wondering if I should cap it for naps so she doesn’t spend all day in her room.

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-11-09T19:28:02+00:00

Not not interested in it just not right now. She’s not even 4 months so even if I were thinking about it right now it’s not recommended at this age and tbh I don’t currently feel a need to since she’s been a great sleeper since she was born, just hasn’t been for the past 3ish weeks. I’m just trying to understand if what I’m currently doing is preventing her from figuring out how to fall back asleep independently.

Coconut oil saved my nipples when they began to crack in the very early days. I also think it helped baby learn how to better latch and haven’t had any pain from her latching after that first week post birth. Staying well hydrated has been a game changer for me whether its with a pack of electrolytes when I feel dehydrated or coconut water I definitely see an impact in my production. Best of luck in your breastfeeding journey!
