Formula + breast milk fed baby for 11 weeks baby
My supply is not enough . The Max I get is 70-90 ml when I pump. So , my baby is drinking both 50-50 . I think , I’m not feeding her enough . I do either nursing or formula at one time.
The max I gave her is 120 ml at one feed. When my My husband/ or my mom feed, they do max 80-90 ml in each feed and not more than that . Sometime they just feed 60 ml as my baby sleeps while drinking. The feeding is need based and no stick to time .
What should be the pattern and how much should I give ? I want to set a routine and stick to that. Im going back to work soon and my mom would be back to her place in few weeks too. I really need help with this.TIA
FYI- she is 11 weeks old, weight- 11 lb now (birth weight-6.04lb ).

Is your daughter fussy after she eats still? Is she rooting or chewing on her hands after feedings? If so she probably needs to be eating more during her feedings but 120 ml to about 180 ml is how much a 3 month old baby should be eating so she's right about average. I wouldn't be feeding her only 60 ml as thatll lead to more frequent feedings. Id try to stick around 100-120 and see how that goes. Try to get babe to wake up if she hasn't finished feeding so you know her tummy is full, but if you can't that's okay! As long as she's gaining normally and she's happy I'd say you're doing just fine
Thanks . Yes , sometime she chews her hand. I am giving her 120 ml in every feed since yesterday, It seems better than before .
