Okay, I need some of your wonderful advice again!
I have to go back to work in 2 weeks. (the 30th) I don't want to, but there is no way around it. We simply can't manage on one income, especially with all of my husband's child support.
Anyway....since I breastfeed, I will have to pump enough each night to send to the daycare during the day. I am worried that I won't have the time, or be able to pump enough, since it takes quite awhile just for a few ounces. So here is my question....
I am considering, just considering, no decisions yet, sending some formula along with the other milk, to supplement it. That way I would have to pump far less, but yet she would still be getting some of my milk during the day as well.
Has anyone here used formula as well as the other?
Is it too confusing for the baby to have both? It would only be used during the day, and only when the sitter ran out of the other milk. She would give her my milk first.
Anne, I looked for this in the book you sent me, and I must have overlooked it, do you know if it is there, and what page it is on? There was a small section I found on supplementing, but it didn't answer my question.
Also, I hope noone is offended by the topic of this question...if so, I will remove it.
