Isn't that neglectful? If he isn't feeding and becoming malnourishedBet she would point blank refuse to give him a bottle, she would be fuming and feel like a complete failure, but why, what’s the issue. She will be livid her amazing boobin isn’t going right for her at the moment!
If she's on a feeding schedule she might well already be doing formula top ups.Isn't that neglectful? If he isn't feeding and becoming malnourished
Very true, I only meant she's not neglectful if her son is struggling to gain weight.There’s a good few other options besides a bottle to top up. SNS, cup, finger feeding and you can express to top up too.
I think if maybe he has a poor latch and isn’t getting the hind milk he won’t be getting the calories to make him gain the weight, so possibly she’s pumping to see exactly how much he’s taking at feeds, if her health visitor or gp has put her on this “brutal schedule” The trouble with that is that she’ll be getting peed off if he’s not on her boob, and getting used to the more easy flow of the bottle teat where he doesn't have to work as much for it! Only assuming this it could be a completely different problem why he’s not gaining the weight!I breastfed my daughter but I’m certainly no expert, I just wonder why she’s pumping so much while he is so young?
Truth. I’ve always had a great supply but after hours of pumping would only have 2oz.Pumping isn’t a true indication of supply so I hope she’s not imagining that no milk on the pump equals none in the breast. The mums I’ve dealt with often don’t know this.
Also wondering why that matters?! Most likely the comfiest chair in the waiting room when you’ve just given birth. Also a nurse- and see these chairs all the time.Can I just ask why it's funny? It's just a chair in the waiting room regardless of the type of chair?
Not sure if I'm missing something

You can do ebm top upsIf she's on a feeding schedule she might well already be doing formula top ups.
Yes you're right, I was just irritated by someone saying she was neglectful by struggling breastfeeding ! Also on her stories looks like she's pumping on top of feeding so likely ebm top ups. Good luck to her.You can do ebm top ups
I didn't say explicitly say she was neglectfulYes you're right, I was just irritated by someone saying she was neglectful by struggling breastfeeding ! Also on her stories looks like she's pumping on top of feeding so likely ebm top ups. Good luck to her.
That's what terrifies me, that she is going to be defiant and stop him from having formula because she sames against itI said she would be livid if she has to give a bottle and I bet she is. All she wants to do is the boobin! She deffo won’t be giving formula unless forced to. Wonder if he’s gaining yet and what the issue is?
