Gross milestone & formula reassurance

l y s h✌🏻 • Mama x 5 🤍 + 👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻

So I know what baby poop is supposed to look like when breastfed. Mustard and seedy.

Well my poor guy rarely ever had that. Always mucus filled and green and slimy. Always a struggle to pool and barely gaining weight.

He’s been exclusively fed pumped milk from birth.

Well we just finished week one of adding one scoop of sensitive formula to each bottle of breastmilk and you guys!! He FINALlY had huge full diapers of yellow mustard seedy poop!!! And he’s finally gaining weight!

I don’t know why my breastmilk alone wasn’t enough for him fat wise but this makes me so happy. So mamas, if you’ve hit the 6 month mark and you too are struggling with breastfeeding or pumping exclusively, DONT BEAT YOURSELF UP!!! Fed is best!

My guy is still getting the same amount of breastmilk and is now getting formula scoops added to help him gain weight (1scoop to 3oz breastmilk 8x a day )

Just thought I’d share this poop milestone because I am just so happy for him and in case any other mamas are struggling too!

And we are now doing purées too (he has no interest in BLW sadly) and he’s adjusting nicely.
