Our child never wanted to latch on, and just hated the whole idea of breasts in his face, so my wife chose to pump for him as much as she could, then supplement the rest with enfamil lipil (is this an ok thing to do?). For the first 2 weeks it worked great she would pump 3 times a day and get about 3oz each time (which was giving him about half breastmilk, the the other half of the time formula). Now all of a sudden for the past 3 days or so it has the pumped amount has been very LOW (like 1/2 oz each time), Why is this?, and how can we fix this problem? (we really dont want to lose the nutritional value of the breastmilk). Also how many times should she be pumping, if we are trying to really pump exclusively and supplement when needed? I tell her she should pump more than 3 times a day, but she says they feel so empty and soft..... ? PLEASE HELP US... THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!
