Secondly we have successfully set up a nursing pattern where she first nurses completely on both sides then I give her top up supplement. Normally lactation consultants say to finish at the breast. I tried that but if I give her bottle first she refuses to nurse and demands more formula itself. But if I offer breastfeeding first, she'll nurse from both sides and I can then decide the amount of formula she needs. It seems to be working because she is spending more time at breast and her formula top up is reducing .
I don't know if I'll be able to completely stop formula top up. Most ladies on domperidone have seen their supply increase dramatically by 6 weeks. I'm hoping for the same. Which means I have 2 more weeks to go. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞😊
