Hi there! I have a couple questions, my son is 2 months old, he weighed 7 lbs 2 oz when born, when he was one month old he wasnt even to his birth weight yet. He still was at 6 lbs 15 oz. Now, I assume around the 8 or 9 pound mark ( I find out tomorrow!) Anyway, the peditrician had me give him 2 bottles of formula a day (yuck!) to gain weight, I pumped at those times. Anyway, I am having a horrible time feeding, he gets so upset he is still starving after me feeding both sides for 15-20 minutes. We can still feed him 3-4 ounces from a bottle right after being fed! I pump and get 1 ounce...maybe.. I fed my three year old full time no problem for a year! Please help! What am I doing wrong? I dont understand why he isnt getting any milk

Have you worked with a lactation consultant? Someone local would be really good. Where do you live?
