Stock supply

Nicole

My sons pediatrician feels as though my son isn't gaining enough weight and want me to breastfeed him in each breast for 20 minutes then give him a bottle. Here's the issue. He can easily down 4 oz after BF and I go back to work in a month and need breastmilk for when I'm not home. Between him feeding and me pulling that's an hour and a half accounted for. He still likes 2 eat ever 2 hours so that leaves 30 minute intervals if he decides to not take a nice 4 hour nap. I need ALL tips on how to increase my supply bc between him sucking me dry and trying to freeze some I am pressed and stressed!! Also I know formula is always an option, but that's a last resort for us.

Is your doctor using the correct growth chart for BF babies?

I'm assuming so bc he knows he's only on breastmilk, but I was so taken aback by what he said I didn't think to ask. He has an appointment on Thursday and I'll remind him that he isn't on formula and both myself and my husband were just small babies. Of course in the back of my mind I'm thinking he isn't getting enough bc he has no problem beeast feeding then getting a full bottle after.
