Dd is 2 weeks old and feeding frequently pooing weeing etc pretty contented but despite initially gaining weight within the expected parameters by day 5 she then dropped 60g this has not increased despite my best efforts. I feed on demand or at least feed every two hours and am keeping her awake and feeding every three hours through the night . Midwife suggested pumping to get supply up but didn't give an opinion whether we should give her the expressed milk as a top up. Really didn't want to supplement with formula although have done this with previous DC for identical reasons. 10 mins after every feed so going to try that . To be honest I am now tired and feeling anxious about her
