Finn at 2 weeks

We took Finn in for his 2 week weight check last Friday. I was very disappointed that he had only gained 2 ounces since coming home from the hospital. He weighed in at an even 6 pounds. We still have quite a bit of weight to gain to reach birth weight. I'll be in honest and say that I am at a loss as to why he is not gaining weight. He latches on well by himself, and sucks for quite a while. It does seem that my milk supply is lower than it was with Kai, but I figure that's because the demand is lower. Kai nursed every hour for the first two weeks or so, and Finn instead is a sleepy baby that I have to wake up every three hours all day and all night to eat. Anyway, after our appointment I started pumping to increase my supply and was very successful. I even have started storing milk in the freezer because I have some extra. And I've been nursing Finn and then offering a bottle afterwards. Although I have to admit that I've hesitated to do that these past two or three days because we've found that he'll just keep eating until he throws up. I wonder if he's not getting enough calories and that's why he's so sleepy. But if he would demand the milk, it'd be there....I know that. At Kai's 2 week check-up he was one pound over birth weight. By one month he was 2 pounds over birth weight. So, to be having this kind of problem is baffling to me.

Today we have to go back to the pediatrician to meet with a lactation consultant and get Finn weighed again. I'm crossing my fingers that he's gained a few ounces. If he hasn't, I might just get really frustrated. And as much as I want to nurse this kid, if it's not working for him we'll have to switch to formula. More than anything, I want to do what is healthy and best for him....which I've always thought was breastmilk. But maybe there is an exception to every rule?? We'll see what they say today.
