    Lee - there are a few options. A side line is one. Changing the bottle teat to a slow flow one in another. You could also try feeding him a small amount of FF first and then changing to the breast while he is still hungry and wanting to suck to stimulate the BF part with a hungry, but not starving, baby. The ABA should be able to give you some help with that. As for supply - it depends on how far you want to take it. Janie and I both spent quite some time on motilium with our DS's to boost supply while supplementary FF. There are other, more natural supply stimulation options so just let us know how far and to what level you would like to take things. Plenty of breastfeeding challenged women here in this corner We have, between us, tried almost everything there is!!!

    ETA - Janie (my twin ) we posted at the same time. And so far, there has been one more vomit. I live in hope or I will be joining him when DH goes out!!
