Hi,
When my LO was born just over three weeks ago I breast fed exclusively for the first five days before surrendering to the lure of a night-time formula bottle (and a longer sleep!)
Since then my DP's done a lot of the feeding (with ready-made formula bottles which has, it must be said, kept me sane and LO healthy and feeding well), and I've also fallen into the habit of bottle-feeding more and breast-feeding less as we've been inundated with visitors etc etc.
I still breast-feed my DD at least once in the morning and once at night, but she always needs a top-up from a bottle now: is my milk supply slowly drying up?
Am I too late to turn this around - to bottle feed less and breast-feed more? Or is the inevitable - a reduced / non-existent milk supply - already in progress?
Thank you for any advice, and apologies for the lentght of this post.
