Help - Fortified Feedings are making both baby and I miserable
Hi, my son is 9 weeks old with homozygous Delta F508 and as is expected, he has been slow to gain weight. At our appointment Thursday we were given instructions to fortify my milk to help things along. However, this has made him miserable. He is so incredibly gassy and just generally fussy which is of course making the annoying task of pumping to be able to able to fortify terrible. My son needs a lot of contact and comfort which impacts the pumping not including the extra stress of my crying baby that's probably not helping with the milk supply.
Anyone have experience here or tips? I've reached out to our team but Saturday night problems and business hours are not compatible. Also, I have tried lowering the amount that is fortified to ease his stomach into it all (1/4 of the overall volume eaten for no changes in mood/ gas). Then my team said fortify as many meals as possible but how many have you all done in a day with success? I don't want to exclusively pump if I can help it (obviously my son's weight gain will determine if that's the case or not).
Any advice is appreciated!
