Just used formula for the first time..

It was heaven. I got some kind of dopamine rush honestly. I was an oversupplier the first couple weeks before I regulated and now at 4 months I'm struggling to produce enough for my 6oz (sometimes 7oz) eating baby. Yesterday I used 4oz of breast milk and one scoop of formula and it was almost euphoric lol.

Like POOF 2oz of food appeared in the bottle and I didn't have my nipples squeezed for another two hours to produce it. I almost cried. It was exquisitely beautiful.

Can I build a decent stash for daycare?

I am officially 6 weeks pp as of yesterday, I'm not sure if I'm a just enougher but I have bagged about 14 bags extra since the start, and I didn't really see an increase in my wearables until about 3 weeks. Now I am pumping about 4 ounces total every 2.5 hrs so about 48oz every 24 hrs.

My LO is taking longer stretches at night for about two days now so I've been able to bag 2 a night.

I do want to be a little of an over supplier because he will be starting daycare by the end of June.

I am wondering if I am going at a good pace to accrue a decent stash? Should I continue to power pump? I do eat a my calories and drink plenty of fluids.

Any advice would be great!
