I am currently going through that with my daughter, she is 4 months and she had been at 25%, Monday we went for her 4month check up and she had dropped to the 5%. I am breastfeeding and the doctor wants me to supplement with formula, which I am against. But even if I wanted to supplement, she refuses to take the bottle and I have tried every bottle and nipple out there. I am working to increase my milk supply but she just won't nurse very long. She seems happy and content most of time and is meeting all her physical milestones. I am at a lost of what to do. I completely understand your pain, you cannot force a child to eat, and it is very frustrating, with the constant worrying if your child is truly okay. I'm sorry I don't have any advice for you, I just wanted you to know you are not alone. ↑ |
