THANK YOU!


I wanted to thank everyone for all the great advice when it came to Maddox and his food. I'm grateful to have such wonderful friends and family that care!! So here is a little update. Maddox is a totally different baby now. I have been giving him a couple of ounces of formula after he nurses, mainly just to get his weight up. I had no idea that his fussiness was due to the fact that he wasn't getting a lot out of nursing. He is soooo much happier now even hours after he eats. Before it would be like 2 hours and he would be so fussy. I'm also thinking that my milk supply is just the same as it was with the other two but that maybe he isn't latching on right and maybe not getting all that there is. I didn't diet at all this weekend and my milk supply was exactly the same. I'm going to call the breastfeeding clinic at the hospital and make an appointment so they can see why he's not getting all of it. Anyway, I feel like he's finally thriving. I hope I don't have to give him formula after they weigh him this week. But to be honest, I just want a happy baby and I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen. Here are a few pictures from this weekend.
