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.

It is normal to feel more fatigued if you're breastfeeding, specially if you're skipping on meals. Breastfeeding along takes up a lot of energy and you need to eat regularly to get back that energy and to have a good supply. I think it's good that the baby latches on. The more she latches on, the more your body is going to produce milk. I understand that you are still coping up with the situation but try to get some rest and more frequent meals. Have some handy snacks like a sandwich, which you can have easily everywhere. All the best to you!
