11 weeks breastfeeding....

today marks 11 weeks and 3 days of exclusively breastfeeding my LG!! shes put on 3lbs since birth so averaging at about 1lb a month, which i thought was pretty good for EBF!! however, my health visitor suggested supplementing her with formula as shes dropped off her growth chart slightly   she is still putting on weight and has only lost a couple of grams in the first 5days, so i don't feel as if she NEEDS formula, especially as shes just had a growth spurt and outgrown all her 0-3month clothes already. i dont want to supplement her right now as i feel that will affect my milk supply... am i wrong? should i do what the health visitor suggests? or stick to my guns about EBF and maybe just feed her more often? all advice welcome TYIA!  

Just stick to your guns, supplementing will mess your supply up!

thats what i thought. i had to stop BF my 2nd at 3mnths because he preferred the bottle when we gave him 1 bottle a day so daddy could bond, and i got really upset so wanted to ebf as long as possible this time, and dh agrees with me, he told me to ignore her and keep doing what im doing  

Congrats that is no small feat! Keep ebf sounds like she is fine  

Keep BF'ing. Do not supplement. As long as she's growing and gaining and having enough wet and dirty diapers, I wouldn't think there's a need to supplement. I'm obviously not a doctor, so I would talk to her pedi too, but it sounds like she's doing fine.
Just make sure you're feeding on demand and not a schedule. And always offer both sides. I really hope you're able to continue EBF'ing.

You are doing great. One pound a month is more than enough for an ebf baby. My son has doubled his birth weight and we are ebf, but I don't believe that is common. My oldest 2 were ebf for about 3 months each as well and they gained less than a pound a month and their dr said they were thriving.

thank you ladies, really hope i can continue. i feel more relaxed feeding this time around and i hope to go a couple more months   shes already in size 3-6mnth clothes so i must be doing something right
