We have just been through this with DS. He did have a tongue tie that complicated things as well. I was never told to supplement with formula though. My LC had me pumping after every feed and then feeding the excess. I did have to add...

We got a lead free garden hose that says nothing about not using hot water. It was about $20 for 25 feet.

Hmm I have never lost hair during pregnancy, only after. It was coming out in clumps postpartum with my DD it was scary. My hair has always changed while pregnant. It got greasy and strait with DD, super curly and full with DS, with...
