Yep I can still squirt milk out after dd has nursed. In fact easier than if I hadn't just nursed. Think I read somewhere that your body normally produces 15% more than what baby needs so you'd expect some to be left.
Can you tell when you let down? Cause if you can, you could hold the SNS tube to stop the flow while you're letting down to make him get that BM.
Actually I don't think 40 min is so uncommon at that age. With latching problems, I would spend that amount of time per feeding cause dd would latch, unlatch, latch, unlatch - she wasn't latched on for the full 40 mins. I'm sure her latched time was only about 5-10 mins some times.
7oz sounds very good to me - I think the most my dd ever drank at any one time from a bottle was about 4 oz. I know because she never graduated from those small Avent bottles.
Remember when you use formula to supplement that you still need to express BM to compensate for it otherwise your supply won't increase. I remember you can't pump well. Are you expressing the BM after nursing?
It must be really frustrating having BF problems with the 2nd baby when the 1st baby was easier. I've only got dd so I don't know any different. I think mentally it must be harder when you know it can be easier cause you've already had that experience.
