Baby on Board
New member
My baby started out small 5 lbs 14 oz. and has always struggled with eating. I have breastfed him until now, 9 months, and still partially breastfeed. I can't keep my supply because he only eats enough to take the edge off his hunger, about 2 oz. So now we are mostly formula feeding.
Pediatrician wants solids only after and if I can get baby to eat 4 oz. of formula a feeding. Currently, he eats about 13 oz. during the day- this is a NINE month old baby! Dr. says he physically cannot sleep through the night until he can eat 24 oz. during the day.
Please help!? I am so tired! Any advice on getting baby to eat? Ideas why my son is failing to thrive?
He is very happy, well cared for, loved, and with very peaceful, happily married parents. His body is so thin, and he stopped growing a couple months ago. His uncle has Cystic Fibrosis, anyone have experience with having a baby diagnosed with CF? Do they have trouble wanting to eat or is it just absorbing nutrients?
