[quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to talk with your pediatrician again. When you fall into the failure to thrive category it is a very serious and dangerous issue. Your baby needs that nutrition now for brain development. Since you said you’ve tried multiple formulas with no success and refuseimported formula you need to triple feed and you need to start right away. Plus, I also think you need to talk to someone about postpartum depression as well. Feeding around the clock every two hours means you’re not getting enough sleep and possibly not thinking completely clearly. Help yourself to help your baby.

Let me tell you a little story. My oldest had issues with latching. I ended up having to pump in order to feed him, but no matter what I did I could not pump enough. We made the decision fairly quickly to start formula and it turns out that my child had a pretty severe milk protein allergy to boot.  So, all the formulas we tried he would have massive diarrhea and vomit for hours. We finally put him on a hypoallergenic formula and low and behold he started gaining weight and was a happy baby. I hated that I could not breast-feed and I hated that I had to feed formula. However, I now have a teenager Who is doing fabulously in high school and is very rarely sick. Formula is OK. I’m going to tell you that it saved his life because it did.[/quote]
