My LO is 3.5 mo old and I just noticed that when I returned tow ork, my supply tanked horrible. I pump a total of 7 times a day (3 at work) and when i come home from work i only end up bringing home enough milk for two 4oz bottles. I am having trouble keeping up and for the first time I have had to introduce formula. I introduced it by mixing half BM and half formula in one bottle then giving it to LO.Is this ok? Also, when she goes to daycare, I like to have her bottles pre made to can i make the bottles half BM and half formula and stick them in the fridge overnight to bring to daycare the next day? I didnt know if I could mix the two, then refridgerate them overnight. Im trying everything I know to get my supply back but seems like I am failing miserably:(-

    Can you replace pumpings with nursings? That will help your supply. Yes, it's ok to mix them, but they must be thrown away an hour after beginning feeding.

    As long as you are feeding them within 24 hours of preparation, you are good.

    Have you tried tons of water, lactation cookies, fenugreek, blessed thistle, mothers milk tea, or more milk plus?
