Default Re: sleepy baby

a huge ditto to everything that kara said. in general, breastfeeding works on a supply and demand system, the more often you nurse, the more milk you'll make for the baby.

how often is she actually nursing?

how many wet dipes is she having a day/ how many bowel movements?

assuming you've had no breast trauma and no medical conditions that make bf difficult, the best rememdy is to ditch the artificial milk, and only nurse to build your supply.

i agree with patty's advice too, to nurse first, change the dipe, then put the baby back on the breast to encourage a longer "tank up" lol.
