Waking more often and changes in feeding patterns, irritability etc are quite normal at this age.
I'm no medical expert, but it sounds like he's ok. I don't think formula is really necessary at this point, given that he appears to be happy and healthy in all respects.
I think its good your getting him checked out! Its better to be told its all ok than to not check him out and wish you did... xxxooo Sorry to be another to say "go formula" i fed DS without it for 16 months, but i just dont seem to be able to fully satisfy this little poppet- i think it has to do with the fact i am chasing a two year old and not resting (like at all) which is effecting my supply alot. I have finally gotten a hold of some fenigreek to see if that helps me so i can kick the bottle. But it has helped here- although she wasnt having NO wet nappies, just not so much in the afternoon, and now she is definatly getting the four-6 a day. But thats just me and her, everyone is different
The ABA lady wasnt alot of help to me as she said DD was doing the bare minumum of wet nappies, she suggested i rest more and feed as often as possible... which i would if i could!!!
Starbright - please dont say sorry for suggestig formula, I dont judge people on wether they breastfeed or formula feed both are damn hard at times. We sound like we are in very similiar situations, there is no way I can rest so it is an uphill battle. There is a lot going on in my life at the moment and I know it is all affecting my milk. I tried lactation cookies but couldnt really bring myself to eat them, not a real cookie fan lol. I appreciate you replying to my thread. Sometimes I think formula feeding would be easier so I could get some rest and someone else could feed him lol. Good luck with the fenugreek. I will let everyone know how I go after the Dr's tomorrow. I managed to collect the tiniest amount of wee so will try and collect a little more this afternoon if he wees again. I am hoping its just a growth spurt.
