Question

Breastfeeding and supplementing is it possible to keep on breastfeeding with low supply for 1-2 yrs?

Answer 1

Yes!  In fact, after your child is eating solids, your supply may be sufficient to nurse without formula supplements.  Keep up the good work!

Answer 2

I am in the same situtation. I'll check back to see what answers you got, but i think as long as you keep on breastfeeding him each and every day, your supply will keep replenishing.

Answer 3

absolutely, just keep doing what you're doing.....  while trying to nurse as much as possible..

Answer 4

I breastfed with a low supply for 22 months :)  So yes, it is VERY possible.  When my son started eating solids (around 8-9 months old), we made sure that he got items like bananas, avocados, stuff that has the good kind of fat in it :)  That helped him get what he needed, but he still nursed!!  You can do it and it's a wonderful gift for your child!
