Yes, and using formula instead of breastfeeding can also put them into a
long sleep while their little system tries to digest those big proteins.
How many times have we heard mums whose baby's were sleeping for short
stretches, nursing frequently, say " I finally gave him some formula and
he slept for 3 hours!"

Tough call for some, easy for others.

On another note, I had my third call in about 2 weeks from a mum with a
breast reduction. How effective are the usual remedies for increasing
milk supply in a woman with a breast reduction and only so many intact
ducts?
