Advice needed on combi feeding

[Melnood]

My little boy is 15 weeks old and until now has been EBF. However, his weight gain has dropped from around 5oz per week to 2oz in 2 weeks. My HV has suggested I top him up with formula after each feed. I've put him onto Aptimil and he seems to be fine (apart from some explosive nappy action!). He doesn't always want the bottle, preferring breast instead.

Do any of you ladies have any advice on the frequency of topping up? I'm very keen to carry on breast feeding and don't want my supply to drop.

Thanks

how many feeds does he normally have a day? and how often does he nap? you could try a top up before each nap and a top up at bedtime.? (thats what i do).

whenever he has a bottle, pump!!!it'll keep your supply up and you can then use the expressed milk for the top ups!
