Feeding

Hi Mummies! My LO is 42 days old now. I am doing mixed feeding as my supply is low. I DL and give expressed breastmilk during the day and DL, formula feed at night. My LO only takes in about 60mls each feed if I attempt to give anymore she gags hence I dont force feed. I am worried she might be drinking too little.. However there are 8-10 wet nappies each day. Is it okay to let her continue drinking 60mls? I dont want to be underfeeding her.. How can I slowly increase the quantity. Please advise. TIA!!

My baby is like yours, can only take a very small amount of milk. I keep looking at the guides and feel scared because it's much less than the recommended amount. Now at 13 months she still drinks only 90ml max. The thing is some babies don't like to drink a lot at a time, but they will drink more often. Just watch diaper output which you already do and check baby's weight on the percentile chart. Don't worry too much :)
