like pinky said you need to put baby on the breast as often as poss to keep your supply going as a pump dosent make your body produce oxytocin to make milk so if you just pump it will dry up. i make sure to feed alyssa in the night and first thing on boob alone then she has 4 bottles of no more than 5 oz and i offer breast in between these which means she usually dosent take the whole bottle lol. see what works for you, you could alternate feeds breast for one and bottle for the next but you would have to do it the same every day as if you skip feeds your supply drops and its hard to build it back up. id advise bf'ing as much as possible for the first 6 weeks at least as your supply is established then. thie glands that produce and store the milk in your breast develop during those first weeks and after that they wont go away so thats your maximum supply limit lol. if you stop before 6 weeks then less develop and your supply will have a smaller top limit and no amount of pumping or baby feeding can up it past the upper limit its capable after 6 weeks which is the main reason i combi feed as i had problems and never managed to get a decent amount going.
