Milk supply enough or not
I had initial low milk and latching problem so started giving formula milk
Now since baby takes more than hour to feed and gets up immediately hungry and drinks formula milk too.
I started pumping
Sometimes my one breast i pump 80 ml plus 15 ml formula milk drinks . Other breast 60 ml. As day passes milk pumping output decreses like 60 ml to 30 ml.
Night formula feed Of 60 to 90 ml.
I give every two hours.
My question is my milk supply good enough for one month old baby??
He does afte every feed urine or after two hours in a day and stool he passes once in two days . But this is for fifty percent breast feeding 50% formula feed. Sometimes formula feed more.

I advice you to give only breast feeding. Not pumped out milk. The whole exercise of practice of breast feeding is lost. When you feed,breast feeding hardly any chance of infection., you develop bonding which is important you are missing the joy you get when they touch with tender hands, you like it. So go for real breast feeding.

You should directly breastfeed your baby every 2nd hourly rather than pumping out your milk. Sucking is a strong stimulus that will increase your milk output and it needs to be in continuation. So, even if you give formula milk, you should breastfeed your baby first followed by formula feeds if needed.
Do not use breastpump as it will decrease your tendency for milk production. Let the baby latch on your breast and do proper sucking.
Passing 6-7 times urine in 24hrs is roughly an indirect way to make sure that your baby is getting enough milk.
Next Steps
get a lactation consultant advice if still you have doubt on your breastmilk output and breastfeeding.
