However, supplementing with formula milk for several meals every day (for example, while the baby is in day care) or releasing breast milk only when the baby wants to breastfeed tells the body that it doesn't need to produce as much milk. As a result, their supply will begin to dwindle. As long as you stimulate your breasts on a schedule similar to your baby's feeding schedule, you'll do everything you can to maintain that amount. Sometimes it is necessary to supplement with formula milk when the woman returns to work or the baby eats more than she can produce.
You'll still need to breastfeed your baby or take out a breast pump every two to three hours, but you may need to supplement your baby with formula or donor milk until your body produces enough for the baby to eat. If you have the opportunity to get a breast pump at work, your baby can only eat breast milk expressed with a breast pump or you can supplement it with formula milk. There are many factors that affect breast milk production, such as physical and mental health, the baby's health, and how often the baby feeds.
