Not breastfeeding my newborn tonight,should i pump my milk if they get engorged?
My 1 week old baby’s poop is so runny and he farts a lot, so i thought it was something i ate or drank…I am suspending breastfeeding him tonight to make sure everything is ok. I’ll be giving him formula temporarily.
I am concerned of engorgement, should i pump?
I’m not trying to condescend (please don’t take it that way) but breastmilk fed babies have looser stools that formula fed babies. Are you sure it’s not just that? Breastfeeding is based on supply and demand so if you want to go back to it, you need to go ahead and pump.
Mommy of 2: I’m not trying to push an agenda, just letting her know that breastfed stools look different than formula stools.
