Pumping and supplementing
We went to the pediatrician today due to my baby having slight temperature last night. They weighed her and she hadn't gained any weight since her last appt 2 weeks ago. I exclusively pump and i feed her 4 oz every 3 hours. Sometimes she doesnt even take that much so i didnt think there was a problem. I am having a hard time eating during the day due to not having alot of time to eat and also not being hungry. That being said, the dr said if im not getting enough calories then my milk is mostly water which isn't benefiting her. He told me I could supplement or just focus more on eating and see if that helps my milk.. Is anyone else supplementing, and how much are you supplementing? My baby is 6 weeks old. I feel lost and like a bad mom, I feel like I'm starving my baby. And tips would be great!
