If you can send me your e-mail address I'll send you a pamphlet called Increase Your Milk. (My address is sihung7@netvigator.com)
I like this pamphlet because at the beginning it explains how the breast makes milk and then goes on to discuss false alarms, reasons mothers worry about not having enough milk. Then it talks about real problems and finally how to help the situation.

As you current LC is happy with the latch and you can see your baby's jaw moving it sounds like he is feeding correctly. (Remember we ask how many wet nappies over 24 hours not 6 hours)

How much formula are you giving in 24 hours?
It is important to reduce the formula you give if you want to fully breastfeed.
I usually suggest putting the formula on a schedule. This way you know exactly what you are doing with it. Also it stops the temptation to feed formula after each breastfeed, which is the quickest way to having a fully formula fed baby.

Kellymom.com has information about weaning from supplements to the breast and a useful form to fill in which helps you know exactly where you are and what the next stage is.
