BOL Addict In Training

Well today marks 2 months of BFing Kaylee. I have not been able to get my milk supply up so I have been also giving her formula. I think I messed up in the beginning when I gave her the bottle. Though she likes both. I was put on Reglan to help increase my milk but I have not much improvement. I like the bit a freedom I get when I do use the bottle cause it gives opertuninty to my husband and teens to feed her while I do things around the house. I am supposed to pump when I feed her a bottle but I don't have time all the time to do that. I feel guilty for not BFing her totally but at the same time I don't feel like I am bound by her constant feeding at my breast. If I let her she would eat from me all day long. She is an eating machine! Kaylee is growing like crazy and weighs around 12 pounds all ready. She is into 3-6 month clothes too! I realized that I have only been Bfing her 3 or 4 times a day. The rest has been formula. Will my milk dwindle anymore by doing this? Has anyone done both bottle and BF? How did you feel about it? I don't know weather to continue in this mannor or work harder to increase my supply to meet her demands. I am feeling guilty about it. Oh what to do.

I did both breast and bottle with Troy until he was about 4-5 months old then switched to bottle only, it worked out really well because you do have freedom for you and others can help. I don't see anything wrong with that if that is what works for yall. Do what makes you both happy a happy mommy is a happy baby!
