We're having to supplement with formula because my wife's supply isn't where it needs to be and she's stressed about it. I want to help more with feedings but I'm worried I'm doing the bottle wrong. Do you guys have any tips for bottle feeding? And how do I help my wife feel better about the formula thing? She's being hard on herself and I hate seeing that.

Stepping up with the bottles is exactly what she needs right now. The fed baby is the happy baby, and having you handle some feeds gives her a break to actually rest. That's way more valuable than stressing over supply numbers.

Formula is totally legit and your wife shouldn't stress about it. We did the same thing with the twins and honestly it took so much pressure off everyone. You helping with bottle feeds is huge and she'll appreciate having you split the night shifts.
