Well done, you're doing so well! Is she taking the 5oz in one feed or is that spread over the whole day? If it is I'd be tempted to try going the whole day without it tomorrow and just let her suck on you instead of her paci. No matter how it feels, your boobs will never be empty. The milk is produced constantly, so even if she keeps sucking after a big feed she'll still get a fair bit of milk over time. Imagine that you're drinking a glass of water through a straw while someone constantly trickles water into it. At first the glass is full, so you have a big drink and empty it. Because water is always trickling into the glass, eventually it will become full again, but it doesn't happen all at once. You could wait an hour and have another full glass of water to drink in one go, or you could spend that hour sipping the water as it trickles in. Either way, you're drinking the same amount of water overall, but you'd probably feel more thirsty if you've had to wait an hour for a drink so even the full glass might not quench your thirst. If you'd sipped at the water you'll never have got thirsty in the first place. So if she grazes all day she'll probably be satisfied enough to skip the formula altogether because she'll never be getting an empty tummy - just be prepared to sit on the sofa all day! The constant suckling will boost your supply too. My LO has a bad cold at the moment so he's just been sucking constantly today and hasn't had any big feeds at all, my boobs feel like empty water balloons but LO is satisfied and definitely not hungry x
We tend to have problems during feeds though more than anything.
