Schedules DONT WORK.
Feed your baby when it is hungry, not when you feel it should feed, breastmilk works on a supply and demand system.
Every feed, signals the body to make milk, so the longer you space between feedings, the less milk you make.
nurse, nurse, nurse! If you are "supplementing feedings" your supply is going to not be as good as it should be! Make sure to keep up a good breastfeeding or pumping schedule.
