There have been some issues with my EBF DD's weight over the past 2 months which have finally resulted in a referral to a paediatrician at the hospital. She will feed only 5/6 times a day (believe me I've tried more but she won't have it) has 3 spoon fed meals a day (I wanted to BLW but needed to get the food actually in to her) but will not gain weight. Over the past month she
hasn't gained a single ounce. And only just 1lb in the last 3.
She has a bottle of EBM in the afternoon now and I have no trouble expressing enough to get it. So I can actually see what she's getting I'm considering giving EBM for all her feeds.
Has anyone done this? How much do they need? How many times a day do you pump?
She's 6.5months and weighs 13lb 11oz if age/weight makes a difference.
Thank you.
