My daughter, 2 weeks, is basically a bf baby. She did get two supplements of Enfamil (recommending by her pedi) when we thought she wasn't gaining satifactorily and it was suggested to us, but it broke my heart to give it to her. She has a good latch and sucked vigorously. She drained my breast of three ounces of milk one day. Lately, however, her bf sessions have decreased to maybe 15 mins max, vs. her usual 30. This was after she was fed by my inlaws using a (good) Avent bottle filled with expressed breast milk. They were helping us out so that we could have just a little sleep after a week of sleepless nights. Is this decreased vigor at the breast due to nipple confusion? I want to continue to bf at the breast, but the milk from the bottle is very very helpful at times. I fear it might be too late. Thanks. I'm a new mom and of course, inexperienced. Thanks.
