[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - It sounds like you don’t want to fix the problem, since your responses to suggestions are basically “no, that won’t work.” Your child can only gain weight by eating more and/or eating more caloric food. There is no other way to gain weight. Also, how can breastfeeding be going well if your child is not gaining weight and you may have low supply? Objectively, breastfeeding is not going well.

You said that you don’t want to bottle feed because you are afraid your child won’t breastfeed, but your child won’t take formula from a bottle and you don’t want to pump more to bring your supply up because it’s too much work. Did you post this because your doctor won’t validate your decision to starve your child and so you want a bunch of anonymous mommies to validate it?

To fix the problem you need to pump after breastfeeding and supplement. Try to get your supply up and at the same give your child the nutrition s/he needs to develop. If your child won’t take the bottle from you then have your husband try. Also, put your feelings aside. This isn’t about you and you definitely need to practice privileging your kids well-being over your own feelings of inadequacy/issues. [/quote]

OP tried 5 different formulas and her baby won’t take it. She has said she is going to try triple feeding. [/quote]
