Long Term Supplementing

I would suggest always finishing at the breast. Start with your bottle, just a little bit, then nurse. Then she always associates the breast with that warm, full, content feeling.

Like I said I did nurse feed nurse for 10 months and I really think it helped. It gives the breast an association with both response to hunger and warm comfort

I am late to the thread but want to chime in.
Great job mama!
Every drop counts.
You can nurse and supplement long term (I started supplementing around week 4 and my girls get around 25% formula/75% breastmilk). It is doable and rewarding.
Make sure you take some time to relax and enjoy your relationship and everything you are doing for your little one.
