Motilium - Low milk supply

[Ladylove]

It is fairly normal for little bubba's to feed hourly sometimes especially if they feel uncomfortable (colicky, refluxy etc) or at certain times of day (cluster feeding, very common late afternoon and evening but can occur anytime). That's great you have access to donated milk! If he gets hungry within the hour could you offer the breast first- before the bottle? You might not have much but it's still good to pop him on the breast as this will help your body to learn to produce more milk- as long as he can get the letdown and have a bit of a drink. I think you are doing so well!

I'm giving the breast first now he is two months old, before that he was eating up to 14 times a day.
I didn't know frequent feedings are because of colic, thank you for the information.

What have the weight gains and nappy output been like?

Feeding frequently can certainly be normal and there's no reason you can't put him back to the breast again an hour later, rather than the bottle. it's really up to you.
In some cases babies have upset tummies, feed more, then get more of an upset tummy, feed more and end up with too much milk.

Have you just seen the one LC? If she's out of ideas, perhaps you could try another?

He pees a lot so that's good if we give him formula he has constipation and he cries a lot, with the donor's milk his poo to me looks more like diarrhea (I"m not sure) and after I increased my breastfeeding he started staining the dipper a lot, overall he poops once or twice fulling every day
I heard the upset tummy passes after three months, is it true?
Before I stated with the Motilium his weight gain was good because of the donor's milk and bottle feeding, we have an appointment one week for now to vaccinate him and get his measurements, I will know how me breastfeeding him more affected him

We had two LC come in and I went to another one that worked in a public place, the first one didn't suggest to fix his tongue, the second one done all she could for us, she was the one that suggested Motilium, and the third one said that I need to increase my milk supply by taking supplements. It didn't work for me.
