question
Hi my baby girl is 1 month old and she is on combine feeding. Initially due to C section milk formation was less and there was decrease in her sodium level so i had to give her top feed. Now the milk formation is better compared to initial month however I am not very sure if its sufficient and baby gets satisfied and if i should reduce top feed. Because of initial month when her sodium level was decreased, that fear is in my mind that if i dont top feed her she may get dehydrated and there will be weight loss. hence i am giving her top feed. the proportion for both bf and top milk is 50-50. Please advise.

Also, whenever she is sleepy she doesnt latch properly. I keep waking her up but she doesnt.  and i top feed her that time. however after nap when she is up and hungry she latches well and bf her.

I am also pumping milk once in a day. Sometimes the quantity is very good and sometimes its very minimal which discourages me and i still feel that milk formation is less and i should continue both top feed and bf. Also sometimes one side has more production than other. please advise.

I believe the first step is to feel positive. Believe in yourself as this will help you to feel confident and produce more milk. Keep track of the number of times the baby passes urine. A minimum of seven per day will assure you that baby is not getting dehydrated. A breast pump is not as effective as the baby and at times may not give the desired output depending on the time of day your mood your tiredness levels etc. If baby is sleepy she will prefer the easier method. at that time please do not use a bottle and use a vati and spoon instead. This will encourage her to come to the breast as she will enjoy the breast better.
