Hi Hope,
Sounds like you're doing a great job to feed your baby.
Perhaps you've been over all this with your LC already, but how often are you feeding and how are you feeding? Also, what is your bottle feeding routine?
Frequent feeding, switch feeding, breast compressions and breast milk top ups are all ways to maximise the amount of milk baby gets. When feeding formula, it can be helpful also to pace feed to minimise the amount they take (it's easy to overfeed from a bottle).
It's understandable to be disappointed when we fall short of our goals, but you are still breastfeeding and doing a good job taking care of your little one. Sometimes we have to define our own success - for some mums that's not 100% breastfeeding, but that doesn't mean they've failed.
There are some articles on the ABA website that might be helpful (if you haven't seen them already)
