    Question is he weaning/ is my supply going?

    yesterday our day was as follows:-
    6am - really good b/f both sides ( last feed was 10pm)
    8.30- bfast
    10-banana
    little cat nap...
    11.30-offered bf.. not interested.. turned head away and then bit me
    gave lunch instead
    12.30-3.. slept
    3.00 - b/f maybe only 3 mins one side.. then just wanted to play
    offered water, drank some and had a bikki
    5.00 - early dinner.. very hungry boy ate very well
    6.00 bath -
    then b/f both sides.. was really unsettled after... he wanted the breast, but it seemed like he was not gettting much.. .

    anyway he settled and went to sleep.. waking at 10pm when i offered b/f again he drank but again he was pulling at the breast like he was sucking and not really getting much out.. he would pull off and then i would offer again and he was straight on.. and he would pull off again.. it wasnt a game, seemed like he was getting frustrated..

    my husband decided to try a bottle ( formula) to see if he would drink it and of course he had 150ml..

    he then woke this morning at 6.30am.. my breasts had not leaked over night and didnt have that "full" feeling about them..he did have a good b/f then breakie,,, the day starts again!
    ....
    Is he getting enough milk, i am so confused.. i am happy to give him a formula top up of an evening if needed.

    is this what self weaning is like, or what lacking of supply is like?

    i FF my DD so this is all new to me! so i am really happy that we got this far!
