Your comment just came at a great time!  I went to the ped. today and was upset to learn that she still has not regained her birth weight!  He thinks that she may have acid reflux (though she never spits up breast milk) and wants me to try new formula.  He wants me to continue to nurse and then top her off with an ouce or so of the formula.  He said that if she does not regain by Friday that I have to pump only to see exactly what is going into her.  I'm going to try what you say about the feeding and pumping.  In fact, I have to wake her now to feed!  Thank you for your feedback and encouragement!  I feel so set on utilizing any milk that I can get. I really thought I wouldn't be able to do this at all so I'm so determined to get all that I can out of it!

Thank you again.. you cheered me up!
