Reply #7: Getting up and making formula

[mzteris]

is going to be much more disruptive to your sleep than breastfeeding.

I know - I've done both - two home-made breastfed kids, one adopted.


Tip to those whose milk doesn't seem to be satisfying baby: Express some milk into a small clear glass (like a little juice glass) - at least like a 1/4" depth. Let it sit overnight. In the morning - check for "cream" - the whiter layer on the top. If there's "very little" or almost none at all - you're not taking in enough nutrients nor enough fat in your own diet. Also make sure your drinking plenty of fluids, too.
