DS had his six week check today and has dropped from the 75th to the 25th percentile, I'm assuming this is as bad as it sounds.
Doctor just said to supplement with a bottle for every feed but I'm really not sure what that means. He fed off me for 20 minutes when we got home and possed at the end while still on the boob and took himself off, I would usually consider that him being done but he took 4 oz of aptimel after that so I'm obviously wrong.
I'm mortified I've left him hungry , I've been crying since the doctors hours ago.
How long should I offer the boob for, how many oz of milk after? How do I know I'm not starving the poor thing.
