Have been giving mixed feedings to my 3 month babe due to low supply plus frequent visit to polyclinic or hospitalization for jaundice. Had cut down alot on formula after she turned 1 month (couldn't cut out formula fully cos she'll have signs of dehydration after a couple of days fully breastfeed) and breastfeed more often. Turned to a LC for help but only help in achieving a deeper latch. Tried lots of milk boosters but I seems to be immune to it. I realized the more I breastfeed, the more fatigue I am and I tends to sleep more. Is it normal? Babe also latch longer and use my breasts as human pacifier.

make sure that when baby is feeding, baby is not sleeping or comfort sucking. this causes frequent feedings since baby is not getting enough. you'll know when baby is sleeping if you try to pull the boob away and baby easily lets go and there;s no suction. how to wake baby? touching baby's face and tickling feet.
