I bought a moby wrap from fsot this week bc I read that baby carrying improved infant weight gain plus it will help me get more things done. I'm really hoping that it comes in the mail today. I've added more healthy fats to my diet to try and increase the quality of my milk is I drink three cups of mothers milk tea a day. I'm not overly worried about supply just calorie content. This morning she ate at 5 then again at 8 and then afterwards I was able to pump off an extra 3 oz. it's not a ton but its an extra feeding worth of milk. I'm going to pump before I go to bed tonight to make sure I'm good and empty. I really don't have time to pump furring the day bc I have a doctors apt and my don is going to his first schoolmates birthday party tonight. Advertisement |

Re: Worried about baby's weight gain
It sounds like you figured things out. I just want to add my 2 cents because your daughter has GERD (think that is what you meant). Had you thought about an allergy causing the GERD? I know now that DD2's allergy was milk but also chocolate and peanut butter caused her to be soooooooooo fussy. I really should have stopped eating milk, but I did stop the chocolate and peanut butter and she was a new baby.
Again, you sound like you are doing better now. This was just food for thought ![]() Last edited by oldmomma; 11-30-2012 at 01:36 PM. Reason: spelling |

It could definitely be a food allergy, and sometimes very frustrating to figure out! I'm having my own battle with that. Good luck with yours mama! |

Re: Worried about baby's weight gain
id wake and offer the breast more often. Could be the med making her sleepy. Try to get atleast 12 sessions in a day though.

At one point with ds#1 I had to get in the bath with him all day because it would wake him up! And he would nurse. ![]()

Re: Worried about baby's weight gain
hang in there, mama! sounds like there's a scale issue
![]() 78th percentile isn't something to worry about unless you see major changes. variation in nursing habits is normal-- but you're doing the right thing by following your instincts!! if you're worried, do get an outside opinion... if you're not sure about the LC you're talking to and want another opinion, you can call another support center or a hospital with LCs. I'm quite sure I didn't always feed either of mine 12x a day by 2-3 months, but would if they were asking or I felt they were acting differently. Try not to beat yourself up ![]() And if you're into vax, don't feel guilty!! Personal choice and I have yet to know anyone who didn't benefit IRL from them. You decide.
