He is only eating from the breast right now, as we are having a difficult time getting him to take a bottle. He does not know how to suck right for the bottle. We are working with him daily on this. He does not take pacifier either because he can not keep it in his mouth...again he does not know how to suck on it either. |
Yes Hes a big boy, My daughters baby girl was 15 lbs at 8 weeks. shes also on breast milk only... dont worry about it. it will all even out later. sounds like momma has some rich healthy milk is all. Now that my daughters back at work her baby takes a bottle, but it took her awhile to get use to sucking on it, just try giving him a bottle once a day so that he can get use to it.
any pictures? Ill get one of my sweet chunky Granddaughter to share with you .
