[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you are feeding pumped milk and needing to supplement and LCs are all crazy people who hate formula, I suspect she is telling you this so you don't need to supplement even more formula than you already do. Screw her.

Feed your baby. I listened to a bunch of crazy LCs for the first 3 months of my DS's life desperately trying to breast feed and feeling awful about the formula I supplemented with and I ended up with HANGRY baby who didn't gain weight. I had to start food at 4 months, when he immediately bulked up and his disposition changed. Oh, and he started sleeping incredibly long stretches.

Feed your baby. He will be happy. He will sleep. Formula is okay. Fire your LC and do not seek out another one/google their advice. AWFUL PEOPLE. [/quote]

THIS.

I was concerned my DD wasn’t gaining weight and she said DD looked fine. DD looked like a skeleton.

At her 2 month checkup we found that she gained barely any weight since birth and was in the 1st percentile. Switch her to 100% formula and she fattened right up.

LCs have an agenda. I would never listen to one again. [/quote]

Yep. I’m the poster above whose baby lost too much weight at the hospital. I agree that lcs absolutely have an agenda and it is NOT to make sure every baby they see is fed and healthy. It’s to push breastfeeding above everything else. I get so upset about this. [/quote]
