Actually my MCHN wants me to start solids now. But I can't see that helping her weight gain. I'm now trying to feed her some extra EBM I have in the freezer but she normally doesn't take it. Though tonight she finished with the bbs and then took 40 mls of EBM from DH. Then we did offer her formula out of interest (we have those made up packs JIC) and she drank about 40 mls of that! So I wonder if my supply is just very very low now after a long time of fussy feeding.Anyway, it makes me even more confused as to what to do. I'm going to try and do a dream feed tonight (well she'll wake fully so it's not really a dream feed) to try and get some extra calories into her. I might offer some formula then too. I know starting formula though is a path to possibly ending b/f cos of interference with flow. But if I don't have the flow and she's not trying to increase it what can I do?!
