Supplement breast feeding with formula

Week 2 since your baby came into the world.

Why not supplement breast feeding with formula. Your baby is now going through a growth spurt and becoming much hungrier. If you find they are asking for more milk than you are producing then there is no harm in giving him a bottle here or there.

Caution: too many bottles and you run the risk of not allowing your milk supply to increase naturally to his demands. Try and only use a bottle if you are finding your milk supply is low, such as at the end of the day or an "emergency" bottle if you are feeling particularly tired.
