[quote=Anonymous]Try not to sweat it too much. I had to supplement between 8 and 12 weeks, but at almost 7 months now we are going really strong, my baby is EBF now and went from below the 2nd percentile in weight to the 90th. (For real!) Can you supplement with your own pumped milk instead of formula? Breast milk and formula have the same calorie count, and you do not have a medical lab report saying there is anything low quality about your milk, right? For my baby, his latch was terrible and he would nurse and nurse but not be able to get in enough milk. The LC explained to me that the calories out were more than the calories in. That's why bottle feeding was so important in getting my guy healthy. Once he had more food (from the formula), his latch improved greatly, and then he became an expert nurser, and we stopped supplementing. Hope this helps. Sorry it's disjointed.[/quote]
