[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1 - get a baby scale and weigh before and after. 
2 - undress him before feeding. It sounds awful but if he’s nice and warm and toasty he’s going to fall asleep
3 - tickle his feet and under his chin as he starts to fall asleep. Sadly, the idea is to keep him awake. 
4 - don’t be afraid to supplement with formula if it’s too much or too hard. I bfd for more than 2 years for both of my kids and they both got formula too. It’s ok. 
5 - ignore the PP who says your milk tastes bad. You’d know because he’d spit it out and reject it, not just fall asleep.

Also 22oz/day is a lot for a baby on breastmilk. [/quote]

1. The pediatrician warned against a scale because she said hey aren’t super helpful and cause more anxiety.

2. We do undress him and change diaper changes. I will also tickle him, adjust, and make loud noises to wake him up.

3. I’m fine pumping. It’s really not that and for me. It’s best that I know how much he takes each feed. I’m not afraid of formula but I make enough that we don’t need to supplement. At least not yet.

Idk. The pediatrician said 18-22oz is what he should be taking for his age. She wants us to get 20oz a day. [/quote]
