[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best indication of whether he's getting enough to eat is his output - how many wet/dirty diapers are you changing every day, and are they really wet? For wet, it should be 6-7 heavy diapers (like, the weight should be enough to know that it's wet), and dirty varies a bit.

There's nothing wrong with supplementing, but some babies do gain a bit slower than others and it can be normal and perfectly OK. [/quote]

OP here. He has a wet and dirty diaper ( blue line on diaper) at every feed. [/quote]

I didn't have diapers with lines on them, so I have no idea how they work.

The important thing I see HOW MUCH pee is in the diaper? Can you feel, with your hand, the difference between the wet diaper weight  and a clean one?

I read some of your other replies, and I wonder if you should feed only one breast each feeding? And if he doesn't empty it all the way, start on that one at the next feeding.

Have you checked Kelly Mom for breastfeeding advice?

A lactation consultant is a great resource - please don't take breastfeeding advice from your ped (although they will be able to tell you if baby I see gaining enough they probably don't know as much about YOUR side of the breastfeeding as a lactation consultant would). [/quote]
