Feeling sad
My son is nearly 7 months old, I now don't produce enough bm to sustain him for some reason. He has started losing weight and he is a dinky little man so have now had to go onto formula. He has only put on a little over 2 pounds in 4 months- and then began to lose it. I'm not anti formula by any stretch but I wanted to feed for as long as I could. It's day 3 of nothing now and my boobs don't feel any different to before- no engorging, no fullness no nothing which shows me I clearly wasn't producing enough. Just feeling a bit crappy about this but as long as my baby is eating idc. Just having a crappy moment I suppose.
Pp- what tiny babies we have :) DS is so dinky! He was 5oz3 born, what was yours? If you don't mind me asking?
I've tried all suggestions so for on the research I've done, but nothing seemed to make a difference unfortunately. I'm just thankful that it's taken 7 months to find a formula and a bottle that DS will take, as previously all attempts he'd refuse anything and everything. There's something about the 2nd stage milk he guzzles.
Pp- I was topping up with formula before as for the last 2 months we've been instructed to do fortnightly weighings due to the lack of weight gain, and in 2 weeks lost some weight. He's a small baby- but still only weighs 12lb9. Thanks everyone :)
Such tiny ones (LO was 5lb3oz born) The only upside is that their clothes last so much longer :D
