I wanted to ask a few questions from those of you who BF and give formula feeds before bedtime. Tommy has not yet slept through the night and I am finding I am getting very tired lately. I desperately want to keep feeding him til at least 6 months and so have been reluctant to give a bottle as I've had low supply issues and don't want to play around with it. I'm also not sure whether it would get him through the night anyway and then I'm doing it all for nothing, plus have the uncomfortable full breasts to go with it.
I guess what I'm asking is, will giving him a BF followed by a comp feed of as his last feed be likely to get him through the night and has it affected your milk supply over the long term? Also how much do you comp feed- as much as they willt ake or limit it?
I was thinking of waiting til he was 6 months and on solids to see if this made a difference but not sure if I can tough it out another 5-6 weeks.
