Okay back

Firstly I want to say that STACKS of people comp feed and it works, so do not worry about that. At the end of the day, if Hayden is gaining well, that's the most important thing.

This advice is only my opinion, and only really for if you are wanting to exclusively breastfeed. So with your milk. It takes a while (a few months is it?) for your milk supply to even out. Basically, breastfeeding is all about supply and demand. So the more your baby is suckling, the more your breasts are going to produce. At two days PP, many women do not even have their milk in yet (mine came in in day 6!), so there's not a huge worry about baby not getting enough food at that stage, its normal to lose 10% of their body weight. The best way to increase your supply is to put baby on the boob as often as possible, the more feeds she has from the breast and not the bottle the more milk you will produce for her. 4 hours is a long time between feeds for a NB (it's a long time for my 3 mo, aside from the 8 hours she sleeps through the night), but every baby is different. How are her nappies? Lots of wet and especially dirty ones? That's the best indicator of what shed getting. When she is awake, is she alert (as much as a NB can be), or still really sleepy? Also, the screaming after the feeds could be a sign of gas? DD had a totally awful time trying to get her gas up, you could see she was still hungry but the gas was making her so uncomfy. So we'd burp and try again on the boob 5 minutes later. By the sounds of how much formula she's taking at the end of each feed, it sounds like your breasts are producing a great amount
