Trying formula

You could try mixing the breastmilk and formula together to help her adjust to the taste - formula can be a pretty big flavor change for a baby used to breastmilk. I wonder if you’ve tried power pumping or doing extra pumping to try and bring your supply up to help store some extra milk? I know it can be hard once your supply is established but might be worth a shot!
I have and I have no issues with my supply it’s the fact that my milk is so watery and she has a hard time getting full off of it, so she needs more and it’s cutting into my stash which isn’t a lot
I’ve been putting rice cereal in it to help her per her pediatrician recommendation
i live by kendamil , when we were weaning her off the breast we mixed kendamil and fresh breast milk. then slowly decreased breast milk and increased formula. worked like a charm
