Doctor worries...

K

My daughter had to go to the doctor today for her 6 month appointment.

The doctor is worried about...

-She is 12 pounds 8 oz which put her in the 2nd percentile for weight

-worried that she isnt getting enough calorie intake and wants us to give her more to eat and fortify her breast milk with formula. Right now she is eating 6 oz bottles of breast milk and getting 4 oz of purees at night

-apparently her left eye isnt tracking 100% with her right... doctor recommended taking her to a specialist and she may need a patch.

I feel overwhelmed with everything that's going on with her. I'm dreading the idea of fortifying her milk. I know she will have to switch her to formula within the next month or so because I am working full time and I don't pump enough to keep up. I just feel horrible because my body cant give her what she needs.

Logically I know fed is best and its nothing against mommas who have chosen to formula feed but weve been EBF for 6 months and I don't want it to end. Even when we switch her to formula I'll still breastfeed her at home.

Im having all the mom feels
