A member asked:

I have been exclusively pumping for 2 months now but i tried breastfeeding the last week and when i went for his 10 week check up i was told he didnt pick up enough weight and i should continue bottle feeding at 6 he was 4.84kg, 10 weeks 5.44kg?

Eat for your child.: Child growth is determined by a lot of factors including nutrients. Make sure you eat good food, adequate fluid and protein to improve the quality of your milk. It does not make any difference whether the breast milk is in a bottle or directly from the breast, it is the quality that matters. The weather requires you drink lots of fluid to get adequate flow and nurture baby during feeds helps too.
