Lynette - can she not use her expressed breast milk as a supplement, 
rather than the formula?

She was getting a total of 30 ml per expression before, and 
presumably is getting a bit more now. If you calculate the baby needs 
up to 1.5 oz supplement, then her ebm could probably fill the bill - 
yes?
