@cubanese that does make sense thank you!

@cubanese we only put 2 oz at a time in the bottle for him. Usually he'll play around with it unless it's my milk and then he drinks it pretty fast and then cuddles until he falls asleep.
I wonder if the LC didn't say anything because of what the pediatrician said? I'm not sure but it kind of hurt me to hear that from the pedi. I wanted to go up to LLL but I could only go to WIC for the time being. They gave me a super pump
How do I get him to where he's not wanting to overfeed? Sometimes he's still showing hunger cues after 2 ounces?

@cubanese he's having a problem with latching. We went and spoke to a lactation consultant and she showed me how to position him and whatnot and we got a nipple shield to help, but at his 2 day checkup he'd gone from 8 pounds 6 oz to 7lb 4 oz and they were threatening taking him back to the hospital so dad was worried and we had to supplement w formula. Well he knew how upset I was so he asked the pedi what we could do and she said to pump every 2 hours at least that way he gets more of my milk than the formula until o produce more but try to nurse him as well. He just gets so frustrated and I can't calm him down enough to try again for too long

@cubanese thank you! I just feel like since I'm a stressed rn that something is wrong

@teniera thank you so much! I appreciate it! @cubanese may I be added to the group please?

@teniera we're having troubles w nursing so I've only been able to pump and I had to supplement with formula because he was losing weight and dehydrated

@teniera I need to increase this supply!

@kambam I get a few drops on the right side and 1 to 2 ounces on the left

Well its not common
