Greetings from IN,
I have a question from a first time Mom. She is having a problem with getting
enough milk from trying to pump. She says she is only getting maybe an ounce
or two at the most when she tries to pump using an electric Evenflo pump. She
has a two month old baby. She is with baby full time but wants to start
getting some bottles together for wanting to just get out a night or two here
and there. She is discouraged with pumping. When should she try to pump when
she is on a full time nursing schedule (baby nursing every 3 -4 hours during
day and a couple of feedings at night).? And then she wants to know how bad
would it be to introduce formula? This baby has never had any other milk but
breast milk. I read in The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding page 90 that "even
one bottle of formula may upset the balance of enzymes and nutrients in the
digestive system and interfere with the protective qualities your milk
provides". How much should I discourage her from introducing formula? It
seems like I should know the answer to these questions but I do not. Please
post to me off list as I am "No Mail" at this time.
