i would try to strock the bottom of his chin when he is not sucking while at the breast that may get him to suck more frequently which in trun will give him more milk. also when he opens his mouth up wide pull him to the breast and also you may want to squeez your breast while he is nursing to help stimulate the milk ejection reflex. when the milk ejection reflex starts he will not have to work very hard at all to get the milk that he needs. if that dosn't work you may want to try to pump until the milk ejection reflex starts than put him to the breast until he starts sucking harder on his own. sence you have been giving him a bottle you may have to be patient he might of gotten lazy because he don't have to work for his meal when it comes out from a bottle like he does when it comes from the breast. your doing a great job and keep doing what you have to do to make sure your baby is getting what he needs.
