Re: Really want to breastfeed...but DS maybe more content/happier with bottle?

Skeetersquirt - Are you using any formula or just EBM? How often do you pump in order to be able to always give your DS a bottle?

RebbieO - We do think that he has gas, especially at night. But the crankiness and fussiness is really all throughout the day. Then once he gets a bottle (of EBM or formula) he is much more content. My gut instinct is that it is because then he is getting enough. Also, although he could be going through a growth spurt sometime around now, he has been like this for weeks. We started giving a bottle to him at night to make sure he was getting enough at night. So yeah, its been like this for a while.

I think I may go this afternoon to a parenting center in town and weigh DS, feed him, and then weigh him again to see how much he is eating.
