Got Milk?
So, I was going to post more pics about our vacation but today Leilani had her 4 month check up and I am having a very hard time with what I was told. Since her 2 month check up my little has gained no weight, apparently and still only weighs 13 lbs. I was just completely baffled by this, because she is no longer wearing the 0-3 clothes and looks just healthy, her doctor told me to not worry they very at this stage but if she does not gain quite a bit of weight by her 6 month were going to have to switch her eating all together. Just a little fyi, I am full time breastfeeding and I give her a bottle of formula if I go out, or something and can't breastfeed her or don't feel comfortable. (It's a little bit more complicated cause I use a nipple shield, haha it's truely a life saver!) I didn't feel to bad but I had my doctors appointment right after my little's and my doctor was saying I'm probably not producing enough milk, and that I should supplement her more with formula. I just feel horrible, like my daughter isn't gaining weight and it's my fault cause I'm her food supply. I just don't understand why I'm not producing enough milk, and why she didn't gain weight... I want to breastfeed as long as I can, I personally cherish the time i have feeding her, which is why this whole situation is so frustrating to me. I guess I could up my water intake, but I don't know what else to do...any suggestions?
