[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like your doctor is advising that you supplement with formula. Not replace breastmilk with formula. If your baby is not getting enough nutrients or milk from your breastmilk, it does not hurt the baby to supplement with formula. He still getting the fatty breastmilk. Maybe he has trouble nursing and you are unaware of it so even though he’s sucking at your breast he’s not getting the full breastmilk that he needs. That happened to one of my friends babies. He was not gaining weight at the correct rate that he should be. And then he actually dropped and was considered to be failure to thrive. She definitely supplemented with formula after that and her baby gained weight. Sucking out of a bottle is easier for the baby then at the breast.[/quote]
