So I've been bf my twins who are now 5 months old. Both get a supplemental formula bottle before bed of 6 ozs and have been doing so since 2 months. With one ds, I had trouble at the beginning--just a lazy latcher. Since about 3 months old, I've been increasing the formula with him little by little. He's always soo fussy at the 3 o'clock hour and refuses to nurse. Now, this past week, his fussiness started at 11. Should I just give in and give him formula at the 11, 3, 6 and 8 feedings? And then nurse at the 4 a.m., 7 and 9 am feedings? My other ds was an instant textbook latcher and is still going strong. I still supplement about 6 ozs with him at night too. I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to give it up but I feel it's a losing battle.
