My 8 week old (on monday) baby, has slow weight gain, still not regained birth weight
3.940kg at birth
dropped to 3.560
then slowly gained about 2oz-80/100g a week since, shes now 3.90
I have been on fenugreek since day 5, and domperidone for a week now
Nothing seems to be helping her gain quicker top ups (of EBM) have been offered since day 3 but she still refuses bottles for most of them, and makes her self sick from crying forcing the bottle away.
This week her poo is becoming more and more green
could this be too much foremilk? The domperidone? She has a cold, could it be down too that?
Saw a pead (two weeks ago) who signed her off as she IS gaining, so apparently its not a worry, but she said that green poo is a sign of starvation, so of course im now driving myself crazy worrying about that as well as the slow gaining, and if i can help any other way
