XP: Supply & bottle issue

LO doesn't seem to be satisfied after feedings recently & i'm not sure if it's my supply going down or whether it's just not keeping up (if that makes sense).Also, when we try and give him a bottle to top him up, he screams & screams and doesn't seem to know how or want to drink from the bottle. My husband normally tries to give him the bottle but that still doesn't work. If anyone has any advice it'd be much appreciated!

    Have you ever tried giving the bottle before? My LO definitely prefers the breast but can go back and forth because we had to supplement her first two weeks. I would use the bottle for an entire feeding to get LO used to it. Make sure DH is the one feeding and you are out of the room. Have you had supply issues before? Do you notice a change on your end? It could be a growth spurt or you could try taking lactate support to help your supply. It helped me a lot. 1ht/phone
