Pumping and breastfeeding
Hi doctor ,
I have a son of 1 month 10 days. I am breastfeeding him complete day and in the night I am giving formula milk two times because he will not latch and cry in the middle of the night , also I do breast pump and feed one time in the night. If I breast pump will it decrease milk supply. Can I pump in the day time sometime when he sleeps and store to avoid two times formula. Can anyone please suggest. Very thankful for the suggestion

Give feed "on demand" only.
You can express your milk & store it in room temp for 4-6hrs & in fridge for 12 hrs.
