DC3 is 5 days old. He was born at 3785g. He was weighed on day 3 and was 3520g. Mw came today and he weighed 3500g. Mw insisted he's lost 8% (he hasn't) and put him on a "care plan" which involves me feeding him on both breasts ( he's satisfied after one side) and expressing and topping up. I don't want to do either as he hasn't even lost 8%! Mw also wants to come back in two days and re-weigh. I don't want her to. What can or should I do?
