Hi, I am in desperate need of advice....I will give you the quick story....

…Breast reduction type Surgery 2004, surgeon said “If you’re able to breastfeed then you’re lucky”
… 2month old baby
...I was having trouble producing in the beginning so i supplemented with bottles using what little breast milk i could produce and the rest was formula
...at about three weeks of age I began breastfeeding ONLY
...baby content, smiling, coos, growing in length-only odd thing is baby only dirties a diaper every other day
...now at 2 mon check baby has gained only 4oz since 1 mon check
...doc wants me to supplement formula every other feeding

Iwant badly to exclusively breast feed my son--help!!
