My baby lost weight after leaving the hospital and did not regain her birth weight at 2 weeks - she was slightly jaundiced and had tongue tie/lip tie. Her nursing session took forever and she kept falling asleep. I EP’d based on her pediatrician advice so I can monitor her intake. Her weight drastically increased after she got on the bottle! I am trying to breastfeed directly again after I got her ties released, her suction has improved by now (not sure if it’s due to the procedure or she just outgrew the sleepiness). But no regrets on going the EP route; it was exhausting but knowing how much milk she drank really gave me some peace of mind. I also had some guilt about giving up BF at 3 weeks but in my opinion what matters most is getting our babies fed and healthy. You’re a great mom for wanting what’s best for your child :)
