[quote=Anonymous]You don't seem to be eating enough. I reduced carbs and brought my diet under control much less severely than you are doing when DS was 3 mos, and his poops immediately turned green indicating he wasn't getting enough fat. And while I didn't pump much, what I did pump looked waterier. Changed my diet back, and his poops went back to normal also. (I know people say green poop is normal, but the changes were within a day of my diet changes.)

Also, don't stress about supplementing with formula right now. Your milk will continue to change, your supply will regulate, and you might just be able to give up the formula in a few weeks. And if not, there is absolutely nothing wrong with combo-feeding.

If a 4 week old isn't gaining weight, it's a big problem. Take it seriously. FWIW, my first did not gain weight either, despite my having tons of milk. I really do believe it wasn't fatty enough...because when I replaced one feed of pumped milk with formula she started gaining.
