Hi
After a bit of advice re:dd she was born 10 days ago and ebf. She weighed 6lb 14 at birth and went down to 6lb 3 in hospital. When we came back home her weight increased to 6lb 5 on day 5 which was good.
Today the midwife returned to discharge us and she has lost weight and is now back down to 6lb 3 again.
Im a bit worried. The midwife said that if she hasnt gained weight by Thursday she is going to refer us to a lactation consultant.
She feeds well (15minutes) every 3 hours. She isnt crying a lot or restless. She is sleeping a lot though, but is not overly lethargic. She has good colour and is alert when awake.
Has anyone had a similar experience? What can I do to help her? Is my milk naff? I dont really want to top her up with any formula just yet, but I guess I am going to have to if they say so.
Any advice would be brilliant....thank you x
