[quote=Anonymous]I’m the same poster from 5/29 and 6/02 about my newborn not gaining weight, and if pumped milk has the same benefits as nursing. I switched to pumping shortly after his two week appointment because he wasn’t gaining weight. He had a “ weak” suck and the LC said he will may get better with age and his latch and suck get stronger. I’ve been exclusively pumping since then with the hopes that we can switch to breastfeeding. My baby is now 14 weeks old and won’t breastfeed. We have tried at least once a day since 4 week to see if he would latch and he won’t. He had been gaining weight and he is happy and healthy. I’ve been considering switching thing to formula, but then I start to wonder if he will eventually catch on and want to nurse. I have 6 months maternity leave and I’m considering pumping until then to see if he will nurse. I don’t plan to pump with work or pump when my he becomes more active unless he’s breastfeeding. Do you think he will ever latch? Should I keep pumping until 6 months or switch to formula? [/quote]
