Has he been checked for a UTI?

No, I've been checking his temperature and it's been normal, the doc says
its very difficult to diagnose UTI in babies.

Why?
You stick on a collection bag, wait about 15 min, pour urine into collection
cup, take to lab.....?? Is there something I don't know?
What about pumping after a feed and using that to supplement, just to keep
the health visitor off your case?
Are they planning to stand around and watch while you feed the formula?
Could you try sleeping with him for a week to see if you can get more milk
into him when your supply should be highest (1-5am)?
Can you try doing a urine sample just to see what they find?? My dr said
that healthy but losing weight was a typical pattern for a UTI, and I had one
done on my son, using a sample collected in a bag.
At 11wks, why would his f0resk!n still be bleeding? (I have NO idea, my son
had nothing to heal....does it take that long??) If he's not cut, what would
cause bleeding?

Can you skip the home visitor and get a lactation consultant to check your
latch, etc?

I'd definatley try pumping after a feed and offering that in a cup or by
syringe before I went to formula.

Dawn, throwing suggestions out willy-nilly (ooo pun not intended)
