Pediatrician Wants Oil in My Son's Diet

My son has been, apart from teething, needing a diaper, hungry, or tired, a happy little boy. I still can't believe how happy he is and has been. He is very active, and is ready to walk, soon! He's been climbing, and his only sitter voted him the fastest crawler she's ever seen. He is lean, but he is not skinny - he has chunky thighs, and a little belly, not a pot belly. The pediatrician is suggesting, since he is underweight (his stats 'flattened out') he have oil included in his diet to fatten him up. This just sounds so WRONG to me! ...

Breastfeeding Dilemma Followup

My baby is 6 weeks old & has several days a week where she eats every 1-2 hrs, then she will have 2 days where she may eat every 30 min-1hr (cluster feeds).

I try supplementing with a breastmilk via bottle at least once before going...

Breast Milk Decreasing - Help!

My son is just 11mo and I am trying to breast feed until 12mo or longer. I work 3d/wk so pump at work. He gets 2 bottles or sippy cups while I'm at work, 6 oz each. I am now only able to pump about 5 oz total at work so there is a large deficit. I was pumping an extra 1-3 oz after each morning feeding when I'm not at work, but that decreased today to a tiny trickle of < 1/2oz in 15 minutes. We already switched yesterday to 1/2 breast and 1/2 whole milk for one feeding when he's with the babysitter, but I still can't keep up. I tried...

How to Deal - Dont Get Me Wrong I Love Him to Death.

This Is a very complicated situation. I'm 21, married, 8 months pregnant, and still living with my Dad. I have a 2 year old daughter and stay at home all day everyday.
