Last week he was 7.15 and still 10 oz under his birthweight at 6 weeks. I knew I would have to start topping him up and you all told advised me to aswell .
Anyway, I have given him 3, 3 oz bottles after his breast feeds. One morning, one afternoon and one at 10pm ish. He has a full breast feed, then the bottle, then I put him back on the breast.
His poos have now turned a beautiful yellow and smell like they should- not the rancid green clear stuff he was producing.
The extra calories have woken him up so he now feeds much more efficiently from the breast. I am taking donperidone which seems to be working and I have reduced my alchohol intake .
Guess how muuch he gained................?
10 oz!!!!!!!!!!!! Back to his birth weight.
I nearly cried
Will carry on with 3 bottles this week and maybe reduce to 2 next week, will see what lactation consultant advises.
Thanks everyone
