You have gotten some good advice and sounds like you are working hard at getting him fed.
Your situation sounds somewhat familiar to me- as last year our baby was nursing but didn't get enough, I guess, as momma's bag stayed hard. Unfortunately, we lost him at day 4 because he didn't get enough colostrum. We are certainly doing things differently this year and have gotten along great. I would strongly urge you to get an IgG test done asap. Our IgG was only $10.00. Could make a huge difference in the outcome.
Good luck-
Peggy
