My baby boy is 14 weeks old.
I’m exclusively breastfeeding and I give a bottle of my expressed milk during the night.
My baby has gone from 13lbs 1oz down to 12lbs 6oz in the last two weeks😭 I feel awful! I feel like an awful mother! I want to carry on EBF and I only want to give him the one bottle a day so that he doesn’t get used to bottles? What do I do??😭😭😭😭😭 he was 9lbs 1oz when he was born so on the large size so I just feel absolutely terrible he’s not going in line with that …. Help pleaseee!
I am going to take him to a clinic or the gp to get it checked too

Is there a reason you were checking his weight to start with and are you using the same scales? I wouldn't worry about him following the line he was born on but does seem strange to be losing weight so think your doing the right thing checking with GP. Does he seem happy generally?
my boyfriend ordered scales as we were just curious as to what he weighed now, and now because we have these baby scales staring at us I decided to look again today 😓, he’s soo happy yeah, it’s an awful feeling,feeling like your body’s not giving enough for him 😭

Are you pumping in the night when you are giving bottles of expressed milk? Xx
noo😬 I really suppose I should as it’s classed as a missed feed isn’t it, but I feel when I’m engorged in the morning he gets a nice good amount of milk out of me
