I need answers fast (thanks in advance) what formula should I buy my 3 week old baby (she has been losing weight and below her birth weight and is only 5 pounds 14oz and her birth weight was 6 pounds 😧😧😧😧😧 I have been exclusively breastfeeding but Dr is saying baby isn't getting enough milk and wants me to buy formula and feed her through a syringe (I'm at Walmart now)

@fairyslaymother definitely if you do that the breast first then pumped milk, I do that as well. If she's hungry still I offer formula but it's rare the last couple of days because I've been nursing on demand and haven't had to supplement because she acts full

@raisingabi that's what they want me to do supplement either with formula or pumped milk and also breastfeed on demand.

I went through the same thing. Nursing on demand is exhausting but it helped. I still had to supplement an ounce of formula after offering breast. I used Similac Total comfort. She gained 12 oz in 6 days

@kambam I hope so I have a appt with the lactation consultant in 1 hour so hopefully they will say no formula.

It's what I did. They push you for no reason tbh. She'll be ok until you get a pump.

@kambam i feel you i would rather not give her formula ...I see at lactation consultant at 3:30 today and my pump will be delivered today so hopefully the lactation consultant will tell me to just pump and I can return this formula

Thank you and yes on demand...this is my first time breastfeeding and now I feel like my lactation consultants failed me because they told me my milk is fully there.

Have you breast fed her on demand. I was nursing every two hours.

Try Gerber gentle. That might help but still pump and breast feed but give her formula if your not producing enough and she's still hungry
