My 15 week old DS is ebf, with the exception of a formula dreamfeed which my DH gives him around 11pm.
For the past month DS has been very hard to settle at bedtime (6.30-7pm ish). He gets very frustrated at the breast, and won't settle to sleep. He seems very hungry, but just can't get enough to satisfy him. Last night I bf him for ages and he was still upset so I thought I'd try him with a formula top-up. He drank 210ml in one go and fell instantly asleep.
I appreciate it's really hot at the moment, and perhaps he's going through a growth-spurt. But I really feel as if I don't have enough milk by the end of the day. Should I continue with formula top-ups? I know if I persisted with the bf then my supply should increase, but this has been going in for a month or so now, and I can't seem to settle him with bf alone.
Very grateful for any advice.
