    mix fed baby constipated?

    Thanks Barb, I may just do that.
    The pumps I'm using aren't well known brands. Manual is avent and electric is First years (borrowed).
    My supply appears to be on the increase though, pumped 150ml this morning!
    But she was still straining in her sleep, crunching up herself, and yesterday she didn't want breast, required massaging to calm her, so I'm still not sure if its a hunger issue.

    Hi - well, it sounds like things are certainly working. You will be able to top her top with EBM rather than formula which will sort out the possible consitpation. The next thing is to get her fully back to the breast. You will find that she becomes more alert and awake and can take a bigger volume of milk - getting back in touch with your LC would be perfect now
