Flow preference after supplementing for low weight gain

mrssqueegy

Long story short, we had low weight gain due to tongue tie, low supply and poor milk transfer. We started supplementing with an SNS but eventually went to the bottle on the recommendation of our IBCLC so we could get his weight up quickly and it was easier for DH to feed him while I was pumping.

Now 6 weeks later, weight gain has been great, supply is up and nursing has been improving, but I think we are dealing with some flow preference due to bottle use. We'd like to start weaning the supplement (95% EBM, 5% formula) but he often gets fussy at the breast and refuses to eat when I know there is a lot of milk left in my breasts.

Suggestions on getting back to the breast? I have read the kellymom article on back to breast, but am wondering if anyone has other suggestions or positive experiences? Should we try to go back to the SNS to get him nursing longer at the breast?
