Breastfeeding
Hi my son was born 2/16/14 and weighed 6.15 and he now weighs 10.11 my doctor is concerned about his weight cause he so long and very skinny he is 25 in a half inches long and he told me to mix formula with my breast milk this will not confuse my baby will it 
and if not is there a good feeding pattern so me and my baby can still bond

hmmm my lo is 17 weeks and is only 3lb heavier than ur little boy and is exclusively formula fed so I wouldn't have thought he was really underweight. Never heard of a doctor telling u to mix formula and breast. The prob is when u start introducing a bottle of formula your milk supply may decrease unless u express a bottle when he's missed a breast feed. My lo always switched between bottle n breast really well as I did 50/50 fir the first 2 weeks x
