Don't supplement!! It creates a vicious cycle. Every ounce of formula you give your baby is an ounce less your breasts will produce. Just keep nursing as often as baby wants and I promise it will even out. The more you feed and the more the baby sucks the more your body will make. You can try taking fenugreek and blessed thistle supplements to help increase your milk supply, make sure you rest plenty, eat good, and drink lots and lots of fluids. It will get better! It took about 6 weeks for things to even out with my daughter but it does and when you are on the other side of this you will be so glad you stuck it out.
