[QUOTE="MrsePloughe, post: 2012574, member: 729151"] Ok, I'll start with the leaking. Buy a nursing bra and nursing pads. That way when you nurse him, you only have to pull out one side. When the other tit starts leaking, the nursing pad will catch it. With my daughter, I let her stay at one breast for as long as she wants. I don't switch her sides until she stops eating. When she stops sucking, I burp her. Usually after burping she wants to eat a little more, and then I put her to the other breast. She never eats as much from the second side, so I start on that side first at the next feeding. It seems to work well. I would keep pumping. The breast milk in the freezer will be a blessing later! You'll find that you'll get more milk the more you nurse your son, mainly because he stimulates your breasts WAY more than any pump could. You know you're making enough milk when he is sated every feeding. If he eats heartily, then slows down, then finally stops with no interest at all in the nipple, then he's full and you've given him enough. Give him the formula until the doctor says to stop, but pump as much from your breast as you are feeding him of the formula. That way when you stop giving him the formula, your milk supply makes up for it with no shortage. [/QUOTE]
