I really don't want to give him solids or formula, but I don't want him to be hungry either.
He was born big at 10 2 and I had noticed he was thinning out but I wasn't too concerned as my 4 others are all thin naturally and he seemed happy was fed on demand etc. But the hv said he wouldn't necessarily be asking for more milk if he was used to a [low] level of milk.
Could he still be hungry [he doesn't wake up at night and hasn't since about 9 weeks]?
My letdown also seems quite slow and this frustrates him - is there anything I can do to speed it up/boost supply?
I am trying to feed him more frequently.
also i am aware the charts are for bottlefed babies - is there a link to a bf baby percentiles?
{sorry bad typing - feeding him now!]
