Baby eating too much?!

My baby wants to drink 5 oz of milk every two hours and at this point my supply is seriously dropping. I don’t want to start formula. I need help!! Any advice? I’m only getting like 4 oz every two hours now. Is he eating way too much or is it just me? He has been dealing with a stomach issue and has been having diarrhea so I feed him a lot to keep him hydrated.

Drink coconut water , it helps!! I would do combo feedings , too , if it comes to it ofc!

Why don’t you want to do formula?

Trust that you are making enough try pumping at 4/5 am!! Also pumping one side while other is latched.

@Jasmine seed oils tbh. If I’m trying my best to stay away from them I want my baby to as well. Of course if it comes down to it fed is best.

How long has he had diarrhea? It could be something you’re eating? If he’s eating that much, he might not be satiated by the amount of milk.

How old is your baby?

If he's having diarrhea he could possibly have cmpa. Cmpa isn't always blood in the stool .... Is my understanding.

If he's just on milk, ( under six months) then maybe something you're eating is causing the diarrhea

To up your supply: coconut water, sunflower lecithin, oats/oatmeal.... Drink lots of water in general ( lilo; liquid in liquid out .... You are making liquid, you need to stay plenty hydrated) , you need to get decent sleep. Sleep when you can

@Pamela Noelle he has had diarrhea for about two weeks. The pediatrician took a stool sample and we are taking care of it. Said it pretty much needs to run its course. It has been improving.

@Bria he’s almost 5 months old
