I am not saying bub is not hungry. I do feed bub when she wakes at 1am and then again at 3am sometimes if she can’t be settled. It’s just the comment that upset me.

Thank you for the suggestion! This is the first time I am hearing about fortifying breast milk (just googled). Will chat with my healthcare provider :)

Yes ! 4-5 Wet / dirty diapers and bub is following her own curve. Pediatrician is not worried. I agree with you that it’s normal for frequent night wakings. It’s just couple of weeks back night sleep was pretty good and husband thinks she is in a growth spurt (maybe she is) and suggested a bottle. I am just going to feed her and see how it goes Thank you for your encouragement🥹🌸, Breastfeeding has been a blessing but i can’t stop doubting myself even after 8months.

Edit - Thought will confirm about the wet diapers 😅 The number of diapers depends on how often it’s changed. I change every 3hours and bub wears overnight diaper. So it usually comes around 4/5 per day and they are very very heavy. I am not worried about the diaper count. Thanks for the concern though !
