My son eats 12-15 times in 24 hours for 5-25 minutes (average is 15 on one side and then refuses the other or eats for 5 minutes in that other side). After he has eaten I pump both breasts and get about an ounce all together. I explained this to the pediatrician because she asked if I pump or anything on top of breast feeding. She told me that he is still not up to his body weight at birth and I need to supplement and see how it goes by adding 1 teaspoon of formula to a 2 oz bottle and to do this twice a day on top of pumping and breast feeding. I asked why he isn’t gaining weight when he eats and has enough wet and dirty diapers and if it’s a production issue. She said it’s likely not a production issue since I still get 1 oz after he eats and he is going potty enough and more likely my milk does not contain enough fat: she said unfortunately some women don’t produce fatty milk and it causes the baby not to get enough calories. I am going to obviously listen the doctor and give formula 2 times a day but I’m honestly crushed about this and feel like I can’t even provide for my son. I am so sad right now and feel really defeated. I know it’s not my fault but I was so excited because he was gaining weight and now he isn’t. I asked if there is anything I can eat or do to increase the fats in my milk and she said unfortunately there isn’t a way to do that and it’s just what the body produces sometimes.
