Gabe's Doctor Appointment (same As Preg Community)

We're home from the doctor!
Gabe weighs a whopping 9lbs 9oz!
& .He's 21 3/4 inches long!
.The doctor said we must be doing
something right,
because he's growing tremendously &
he's very healthy.
My doctor gave me some soy formula to try
for his spitting up/throwing up. Because
he
only does it when we supplement with his
formula.
So he said see if that helps, but if not,
don't worry
about his throwing up. Because he's
definitely
gaining a lot of weight.
I have a strong healthy boy!
.Chris came with.. It was kind of hard.
But we got along fine. He was talking
about "if we get back together" &
stuff.
He gave me a hug when he left, too.
Sigh. I miss him terribly.
But .I'm doing surprisingly good today.

krissy, j/w why you need formula...since
you seem to be producing a good amount of
breastmilk? a lot of babies have problems
with formula since its a lot harder to
digest than breastmilk.

i can't keep up with how much he eats. he
eats over 4oz each feeding (every 3 or 4
hours) & i try to pump everytime after
he eats, but i just don't produce enough
to keep him satisfied. it's way too hard
to keep up with him.

In response to the last few posts.. Are
you sure you're not over feeding him? Did
the doctor tell you 4 oz was ok? If so
then don't mind me. But my doctor told me
that Brayden should still only be eating
about 2 oz and he is almost 7 weeks old.
If you haven't talked to the doctor about
it I would suggest asking him. Every
doctor has different opinions so thats
just what my doctor told me. Check into
it because you sound like you should be
producing enough.

.he doesn't spit up/throw up my
breastmilk, only formula. & i think
someone on here told me that babies who
have breastmilk eat more than formula fed
babies. because breastmilk isn't as
filling. i know he's still hungry after
2oz, because he still cries & roots.

Hey! I'm feeding Brayden breast milk too!
The doctor told me that since they eat
faster through a bottle then at the
breast that I should stop and burb him
after every half ounces. This gives them
time to realize they are full. Thats just
what my doctor said. But like I said
earlier every doctor is different and
every parent is different. If what you
are doing is going well then don't worry
about it! he's growing great so I'm sure
you're fine, I was just offering a few
tips!

wow krissy hes gettin so bigg.... you go
mama!!! your doing an amazing job.. i
think i might have mentioned that... my
doc had mentioned to me that breast milk
is digested faster and easier since its
not as heavy as formula! Breastmilk is
also gentler on the tummy! but your body
should produce` enough to feed him! is he
nursing at all or are you just pumping? if
not nursing try having him suckle even if
hes not getting much.. the body reacts
different to a baby suckle rather than a
pump suckle.. maybe this might help your
body produce more milk for him since his
suckle will be different! i read that
somewhere! maybe google "increase milk
supply" it'll give ya`more suggestions!
but soy formula is good.. i supplement
once in a while with similac organic and
similac isomil! but i breastfeed
exclusively! y lil guy is a pig too...lol
good luck! keep it up mama!
anyhow i hope that helps! post pics hun! i
cant wait to see your lil man!! yeehhh hes
17days ol'..
