Talk to me about "Top Ups"

Hopefully things settle down for you Starbright.
I have to say again - it sounds to me like your DD is doing just fine

hi SB

i'm prob a bit late to join in here but one of the mum's in my MG pretty much gave her DS one bottle (at bedtime) from about 3 months & BF the rest of the time. her DS was still a regular BFer & she fed successfully until her DS was 13 months & she weaned him. i'm not saying it will end so happily for everyone, but just wanted to let you know that it can work.

the other thing you could try, if you're worried about supply, is lactation cookies. there's a recipe around somewhere & they're very tasty! (and they have choc chips - yum!).

i do recall DS going through some very fussy patches & pulling on & off. he nearly drove me crazy for a while! i've never felt full since the first couple of weeks either but my DS is still happily feeding at almost 16.5 months so i figure even if there is no sign of heaps of supply, it's still there!
