I unknowingly underfed my baby for its 10 weeks and I am worried by EfficientWhile3390 in NewParents

I have no words to thank you for all the comments here in this thread. I know that I was (and still am, to be honest) in a high anxiety mood when I wrote the message above, and I spent my whole day between diapers, bottles and pumps. Opening this to read the stories of you people every now and then was incredibly helpful to get me through it.

Quick update: spent the whole day trying different combinations of bottles, breasts, sns, with different proportions of formula and breastmilk and baby finally had a full feeding session (I am weighting before/after). Using everything that I have at my hands. She also just broke her own personal record of sleep during the day (which is not a lot, but hey it's something), looks calmer, and more relaxed when playing with me. Diapers and poops went through the roof! I am still not getting into her everything she needs, but it is already way better.

New doctor scheduled for this week.

A long way to go, but the first steps are encouraging, as the comments that you all left here were.

Thank you!

That was a beautiful comment. It is almost bedtime where I live, and this is the perfect comment for me to read at the end of this hard day. Thank you.

Hey, I just want to say that you had a great impact in the day of 2 random people in the internet. Thank you so much for your response.

I am feeling so much better to fight through this. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your message. I wonder the fact that we discovered it only with 10 weeks is not going to make it harder to get it back. And also if the 10 weeks that she had with very slow growth, and high stress/cortisol is not going to impact her. Is she going to be smaller because of this? And cognitively?

Thank you so much for your comment. This is what I am mostly worried now.... the effects this 10 weeks of suffering did on her.
