Bryson had his 2 week check up yesterday and he is finally back up to his birth weight which was 6lbs 3oz! He is doing great except still not breastfeeding, but that's ok cuz i am pumping and giving him milk that way! I wish the nurses and his pediatrician would stop pressuring me to keep trying to nurse through. I get it, i would of loved to have the nursing experience with him like i did with my other 2. But with being a premie we are struggling!

The only problem with pumping is that if you’re not consistent in doing it every two hours your supply will drop. I’ve been pumping since my son stopped breastfeeding randomly at 2months.
Also, if your period returns it can also cause a drop in supply. My supply tanked after my period so now we have to supplement.
I will say nursing is far more convenient! But all that matters is that he is getting enough to eat no matter what that means for you.

@kaitlinl20, glad to hear you have a lactation consultant to help you get it all sorted and give you all the necessary information!

Awww I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling. Is he just too small to latch or he developed a bottle preference or what do you think? That’s great you’re pumping though and giving him that nutritious mamas milk!
