My son is a little under 2 weeks and has been exclusively breastfed since birth but now his doctor wants me to supplement with some formula since his weight isn't back up to his birth weight. He looks good, hydrated, active, alert but his weight is just not where its suppose to be. It hurts because I feel like I am failing him and failing at breastfeeding. I want so badly to do well at this...

some doctors don't understand breastfeeding. the charts they compare weight to are charts from formula fed babies, who gain weight faster because of formula. if you feel like your baby is healthy & is having enough wet diapers keep doing what you are doing. you are doing great!
This happened to me when my baby went for his 4 month check up and I didn't supplement, we did a weight check 2 weeks later and he was fine! I felt the same as you, baby was happy and sleeping well. I would give it 2 more weeks and then if you have to supplement
I was in your same exact situation and ended up supplementing for 2 days. I would breastfeed her first and then give her a little formula. I understand how you feel i cried for 2 days. But she is great now and only breastfeed.
that's what I was thinking too, the doctors didn't even ask about his diapers, and I have been watching those so closely to make sure he was getting enough @mommybump2016 @crunchymomma
I personally would say not to supplement. I was told to supplement with formula and never did. now my baby is 17lbs at 3 months.
you are not doing anything wrong!! in my opinion your milk is doing its job:)) if I was you I wouldn't give formula just yet .
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.
