Formula

Everyone has theories on when to start formula, how much to give, etc. But when it comes down to it, no one really knows how to balance formula with breast feeding. Its a tricky situation. You want to give her enough formula so that she is full and doesn't come crying for more in less than two hours. But you don't want to give her so much that she stops feeding less and less with you. 'Coz this will reduce your supply and from there on its a slippery slope.

I have been trying to find that balance and constantly wonder when I should be moving up from 3 ounces to 4 ounces. I wonder how frustrating it must be for my kid as I try to find the right amount of Formula!
