UPDATE!!! Proud breastfeeding moment ❤️

Sheri

My baby girl was born 9/22/17 weighing 7 lbs even, we have struggled with her weight a lot (not gaining any) I EBF I had my mind set to breastfeeding only, since the day I found out I was pregnant. The doctor recommend I feed her then when shes done for me to pump whatever she didn't eat and for me to bottle feed her what she didn't take in when BF which I had no problem with that but she told me if I could not pump atleast an oz then we have to start giving formula 😩 extremely blessed to say that baby girl is BF for 30 mins (15 each side) and then taking a little over an oz in the bottle 🙌 we found out Thursday if what we are doing has helped her gain weigh 😍 *fingers crossed*

UPDATE** So the appointment we had that Thursday i did not receive the news I wanted 😩 she had gained weight but not enough she still wasn't at her birth weight so the doctor told me to supplement with 2-4oz of formula after every BF session and to follow back up in a few days so we went home and I followed doctors orders, her following appointment she was weighed and she has finally passed her birth weight 🙌 she weighed 7 lbs 4.2 ounces we go back November 2nd to weigh again if she has continue to gain weight we can slowly wing her off formula and go back to EBF 🙌 although I was disappointed that I had to supplement with formula I'm beyond happy that my LO is finally gaining weight and is finally where she should be and I'll do whatever I have to do we can make sure she continues down this path even if it means not following the plan I had in my head.
