<< 17. Can I supplement breastfeedings with formula to delay frequent
feedings?
 ANSWER: When you start giving formula to a breastfed baby, you actually
 disturb the normal mechanism for regulating your milk supply. This means that
 you have to take the responsibility of seeing that your breasts get adequate
 stimulation and regular emptying so that your supply does not drop if you do
 not want it to. If the baby is nursing well, then the mother can safely add
formula as long as she empties her breasts often enough to maintain her milk
 production.  >>
This is so weird as to be almost unbelievable.... a mom who is willing to
pump her breasts to maintain her supply but not give the milk to the baby,
and give AIM instead?   This is one strange time we live in...
