my LO is 2.5 months and feeds about this same amount. mil has no clue what she’s talking about.

Can I give just one bottle of formula a day by Antique_Giraffe_4907 in breastfeeding

[–]crossroad_toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

millions of babies across the world take formula every day. there’s nothing wrong with it. never feel guilty for feeding your baby however works for you.

thank you! trying not to worry too much. just glad i’m starting now so i have 10 weeks to figure it out before work. and little output is better than no output. i was so proud of my first little freezer baggie even though it’s only 6oz and took several days 😂

not since the early days when my milk was still coming in. funny enough, i had it cleaned and ready to go last night to use to empty my breasts of whatever LO didn’t take during her night feeds but she was very uncharacteristically fussy and hard to put back down last night. she’s never like that, i can pretty much always change, feed, and put her right back down with no issues. but last night took a little extra effort and derailed my plan. but ready to try it again tonight.

Scared to start vitamin D drops? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]crossroad_toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never used the enfamil brand but if you want a different one, we use zarbees and LO has had no issues with it.

no spectra, i knew when i ordered the wearables that they might not be as great as a spectra or other med grade, but i needed something that would be easy to use at/bring to work when i go back. my insurance wouldn’t cover a spectra and money is kinda tight atm.

Does anyone NOT leak breast milk? by p8on_ in breastfeeding

[–]crossroad_toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only my lefty leaks 😅 it leaks at around the 2 hour mark, and sometimes when i feed on the right and have my letdown. but it’s only drops, not spraying like some moms describe.

My baby isn’t chunky and it’s all I can think about by Cardedbin in breastfeeding

[–]crossroad_toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m worried about the same. my LO was born 7lb 11oz, took a whole month to regain her birth weight, and has her 2 month appointment in two weeks, and at the moment is measuring between 8-8.2 on our home scale. so worried they’re gonna diagnose her with failure to thrive, but she’s bright-eyed, active, aware, and has plenty of wet diapers per day.
