If you pump for a baby...

@tokenhoser thanks. I know you've helped me in the past! Still chugging along at 3.5 mos, and he gets less formula then before! He won't nurse if there's no milk. He gets mad. But I guess my supply has increased over time, looking back.

I already pump 3x at work. Idk if I have time for logistics of a 4th. I'm going to try 20 min though instead of 15, even if nothing is coming out.

Thanks ladies! Love the support! (And the no judgement on combo feeding!)

You could add the pump at home, on the weekend, not necessarily more time at work. That's not possible for most people.

But it sounds like you're doing great.

DS never ate more than 4 oz. at a time, and often ate only 3 oz. but he has never been a huge eater (at 2, he still is not a big eater). I think the general guideline is 1-1.5 oz for every hour you are apart.

My kid drinks 7-10 oz and he's almost 8 months old. He's eaten that much for 2-3 months though. He's always been a big eater. I nearly had a panic attack when he ate 5 oz at 2 weeks old. My body produces to his needs though and it's never been a problem.
