So...DD is 6 mos (boohoo - stop growing)...
Since I went back to work I have been supplementing with a bottle of formula 1) so she would sleep through the night and 2) so I could keep up. I pump in the AM, twice at work, before bed and MOTN. I get about 12 oz a day exactly.
She recently started cereal and kills it. Seriously. Kid is a champ. She eats it now twice a day at lunch time and then again at dinner (around 6:30pm). For dinner she have 6T cereal mixed with 3oz formula or BM. I have been noticing since the cereal she is drinking less of her bottle and still doing pretty good over night. So I have been thinking about going back to nursing before bed (we put her in the swing at 7pm, then around 10pm I take her upstairs to the crib feed her and put her down for the night).
The last two nights she has only been taking 2-3oz formula from the bottle. But I am thinking nursing she may get more...I usually get 2-3 oz when I pump - since she is more efficient I figure she ma do better. Plus I'd love to supplement a day time feeding (6oz bottle) instead...so I only need to pump one 6oz bottle a day...would be SO much easier/less stressful.
Who's bored this Monday evening and wants to chime in with opinions?
My biggest fear is will she get enough to sleep through the night - I'm thinking the large serving of cereal fills her tummy good and may fill in for a shortfall in supply?
