[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for the suggestions.

Feeding: He seems much more content with the formula. We also fed him pumped milk twice, and that worked. I am really starting to think it's had less to I with my diet, and more to do with his latch. I am going to make an appointment with a LC. If he doesn't latch, I don't mind pumping. I find it easier and I can be done in 20-30 minutes. [b]He takes up to an hour to eat[/b].

Eating: I am looking up recipes I can try. I am going to start adding more calories into my diet, along with healthy fats, quinoa, brown rice, non-dairy yogurts, etc. I think I have been drinking so much water, I get too full for food. I am going to cut that back a little.

This is quite long. My DD would do this and everyone told me it was ok but it really wasn't-  she was just so inefficient which led to slow weight gain. She had a tongue tie which caused this. Make sure you see an LC that is experienced with ties and does a full suck assessment. If you can make it to Virginia Hospital Center I highly recommend their breastfeeding group. It is free and it's a very supportive group that will help you get down to the root of any problem.[/quote]
