Breastfeeding

She's a lazy eater lately...

I've given my LO a bottle with pumped milk recently and also some supplements with formula (which I have now stopped).

Since those bottles (about 1 a day for 4 days) I feel like she has become so lazy at the breast.  She takes forever (she always has, though), but her sucking isn't as powerful and more fluttery than before.  She (with the exception below), always, always, always wants more.  The only time she is ok is during the night when my breasts have had 3 hours plus of recovery time between feedings.

 During the day, her laziness has made me concerned that she isn't growing in efficiency, but maybe this is the beginning of nipple confusion.  I will just keep her at the breast and avoid the bottle, is there anything else I can do to encourage her to feed better?
