    I second yules' question re whether you've tried ebm in a bottle, to get her used to it, and test out different flow teats?

    another thing to try might be to mix some of your EBM in with the formula?

    would you like some ideas for ways to increase your milk supply? or will it be too difficult to express when you're back at work?

    please don't take that as second guessing your plans - just trying to make as many suggestions as possible for you to consider

    good luck, from another working mummy
    I wasn't sure if I could do half and half but am happy to try it. Re. Supply, i'm happy to try and increase it to express at wk.

    What about a Nuby cup. They are spout shaped where the spout is silicone like the bottle. Perhpas try expressing a little and mix it with the formula then decrease the expressed amount?
    Like mrsmac has said, she may be alright with water during day as long as she has the big feeds at the start and at the end.
    Thanks hun. I'll try that too.

    You could also try to use newborn teats so the flow is slower. It's possible she is overwhelmed at getting the milk too quickly? Newborn teats will have a much slower flow.
