hi. you should never keep your baby hungry. if you want your baby to switch completely on bf, you should gradually decrease the amount of fm. simultaneously you need to work on increasing your bm. you can't have the overnight boost in your bm which will satisfy your baby considering the intake milk amount you have said.
