Glad you found this site. I tried to breastfeed my daughter and found it very difficult. She ended up switching to formula around 12 weeks. I felt so guilty because I know that it really is the best thing for them, especially with CF.
I did talk to my OB/GYN at one point about my supply not being very good, and she was able to give me a prescription that increases milk supply. The drug is some sort of antacid type pill (regulen?) but it has a side effect of increasing your milk. It did help, but in my case not enough. Looking back, I think a lot of my problem may have been related to stress.
Good luck, and I hope the advice the successful breastfeeding moms have given helps you. If you do have to switch to formula don't beat yourself up about it too much. There are some really good ones out there, and you can fortify them which increases the calories.
