DS is 9.5 months old. He hardly eats at all... we work on it multiple times each day but it just isn't going so well. DP is breastfeeding him, and works full time so is pumping about 4 times each day. Now it seems that for the past few weeks, he just isn't getting enough milk, and DP's pumpings have produced less than they used to. We're not sure if it is because DS is just demanding more milk, and so he is drinking it all before she pumps, or if there just plain isn't enough milk for him.
DP can't pump anymore than she is, and we're worried that DS just plain isn't getting enough milk. She is taking herbs, eating oatmeal, drinking Mother's Milk Tea and so on, to try to increase her supply, but it just doesn't seem to be making a whole lot of difference. So we're beginning to look into the organic soy formulas just to supplement when DS is still hungry and there isn't any milk available-- looks like there is the Earth's Best one and the Baby's Only one... does anyone have any experience with either of these? Good? Bad?
Thanks for any suggestions.
