@thing2 Ya it’s not too much formula and it goes in my breast milk so it’s no biggie. I will see if I can talk to a lactation consultant tomorrow

@thing2 This was his second weight at the doctor (first was Friday at 6lb 8oz and yesterday was 6lb 2 oz) I’m comparing both doctor visits. I am still using the nipple shield. I try to latch him without sometimes and he has a hard time because my nipple is still pretty short for his mouth, he...

@ajh40 Thank you! Ya I had a little breakdown when we got home that I had to add formula but honestly the doctor seems to think it will need to be continued until he can eat solid food. I don’t mind now, just had to take a moment

@glendajoanne Thank you! I’m glad things work out for your baby as well

@nadine777 Thank you

@arlandriax Thank you! I’m gonna try to talk with a LC at Wic

@thuyhien Thank you! I’ll give that a try!

@kristen777 Thank you! It’s hard when it comes to hair specially when feeding him is most important and it’s hard when your body isn’t doing what you had hoped for your baby. Especially the way I love him (I knew I would but omg it’s so much more than I ever imagined) and I would do anything for...

@rfoobs Thank you! I will try to speak with a lactation person soon.

@rfoobs Yesterday he hadn’t ate for about 2 or 3 hours because he wouldn’t take the breast before we left. I have yet to have the courage to breastfeed in public but I’ll get used to it soon. So that could be part of it: he ate and had a clean diaper on Friday and the one yesterday he hadn’t...

@snowmang I will do that!

@snowmang Ya I will talk with the LC at Wic tomorrow if I can and see what happens.

@snowmang I did a weighted feeding with a home nurse that comes and that was his first week and he gets about an ounce from one breast in 15 minutes. Today he ate for 30 minutes on one side. And 20 on the other the next feed. I am not offering the pumped milk but I do offer the other breast...

@vitari Thank you! Best of luck to you and the little one 🤞

@magelaus Thank you. I’m glad it worked out for you guys! I’m happy I can express as well ☺️

@magelaus I really think most of the issue is my breast size lol the nipple shields make it sooo easy for him to latch now they are just uncomfortable 😭😭

@championmicky Thank you! My nurse that comes to visit me did a “weighted feed” before I fed him and then after and he gained about an ounce at 8 days and that was before he latched really well. The past 4 days or so he has been latching extremely well with a nipple shield. I also think part of...

@championmicky Thank you. I spoke with a breast feeding peer person and she is going to have a LC call me to set something up

My son eats 12-15 times in 24 hours for 5-25 minutes (average is 15 on one side and then refuses the other or eats for 5 minutes in that other side). After he has eaten I pump both breasts and get about an ounce all together. I explained this to the pediatrician because she asked if I pump or...
