Any....but..: You may find you can increase your supply by hydrating well and limiting the duration of feeds to 5 min/side. If you do that you may have enough recovery time between feeds to push up production & increase feeds. If this does not help in a few days any formula might help. Baby gets 80% of a feed per side in the first 5 min/95 in ten/after ten , After ten your basically nurturing.
