Weight gain and supplementing
So Ari is a little over 11 weeks now and weighing 9 pounds 14 oz. the dr has been saying he's underweight since about a month old because he's not gaining fast enough. He was born 7.8. I ebf, he nurses every 2-3 hours and since I've been back at work I pump and he'll drink 3 oz. he says he's still not getting enough calories and is afraid that he will stunt his growth by trying too hard not to lose weight?? Idk, never heard of that. So he wants me to start supplementing with formula. I'm just so afraid because my 3 year old didn't do well with formula and wound up on miralax daily and still got impacted twice because he just couldn't poop. I don't wanna have those same issues with him. Any ideas? If I do give formula, could I mix it with breast milk instead of water so that it's easier for him to digest? I tried enfamil gentlease and newborn and he didn't poop for 3 days after having it and just seems very fussy and gassy

Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
I've been supplementing some with formula because my baby boy just demands more than what I'm putting out and he seems happier with the formula..my breast milk doesn't seem to satisfy him enough and it seems like he's always hungry unless I give him formula..should I switch to formula only? I thought breast milk was supposed to be best but in his case I'm not so sure ugh idk what to do I just want him to be happy
I have a question for the moms who do only formula. My baby is having a really hard time trying to poop because of the formula. What can I do so he can poop?

My child is NOT disgusting just because he has HFMD. I feel beyond awful that he even has it, but now I feel like facking shat since my family makes it seems like he's so disgusting. I'm just gonna lay in bed and cry ??
Weight loss
Just curious, what did everyone's babies lose the first few days/week? Mine lost 14 oz but then gained 3 back (he was weighed after he had just fed) and then lost 2 so now he's at a 13 oz loss and 1 week old. I'm going back in 2 days and they gave me some tips but I was wondering if anyone had some more. I was just pumping but now he's back on the boob and then I top him off with what I've pumped. Would it be worth it to add some formula? The pediatrician said I could and think of ...
