How much other food is he eating?  Does he drink other liquids also (water, juice, etc.)?

My youngest was similar in diaper output and did have weight gain issues (actually was losing weight), but while nursing you can do a few things such as breast compressions to keep him nursing and also to increase the fat content (calories) of the milk he is getting.  Increase the number of times you offer.  Even offering every 2 hours if necessary (I had to).  Even short sessions are beneficial.   Also, I did use fenugreek and added some pumping sessions to increase my supply.  I did have some success with that.  Then I was able to use the pumped milk for momsicles or even fed to her via medicine dropper (because for her every ounce was important).

To get a better idea of diaper output put out five diapers in the morning (you do a 24 hour count) and see where you are the next morning.  Also, take a diaper and put 2 tablespoons of water in it.  This will give you an example of what an adequately wet diaper feels like.  Check him regularly throughout the day and if a diaper is really wet (morning diaper for example) it can be counted as two diapers (if it's really wet). 

If you just can't get a sense of if his diapers are wet enough, switch to cloth for a few days ... it's much easier to see / feel the wet of a cloth diaper than a disposable one.

I would say that he's eating about 3 tablespoons of cereal in the morning and about a jars worth of food in the evening and no other liquids other than the water that i put in his cereal. I've tried to keep his solids on the low side because i know they'd cut into his intake at the breast. I have tried doing compressions but he doesn't seem to like my hand up there and keeps batting it away. I have started increasing the number of times i offer and that seems to help a little. I could start pumping my left side more and see how that helps. How often should I pump it to increase it's supply? Though I guess right now any more than what it's getting nursed off of is more than nothing and should help, I know my right sides makes plenty lol :)

As for diapers his morning diaper is plenty full and could equal two, the rest of the day i would say i can use 2 more diapers easily, though i change him probably one more time than that if he's even a little wet. I thought the sufficiently wet diaper was supposed to be 3tablespoons? but I will see what the difference is between the two so i can tell the difference. I also just bought some fenugreek so i will take that as well.

This is so weird to be dealing with, my other two were always soaking wet, or so it seemed. Evan has been my most difficult nurser being that he wouldn't nurse less than every 3 hours for his first couple months (he will now though), and that he always needs toys in order to be content to stay and nurse.

Thanks so much for your help :)
