Breastfeeding help: Newborn sleepy and slow weight gain..having moment of weakness!? - pinky before the weight gain
My daughter is 12 days and I am breastfeeding exclusively, but has not received his birth weight again. He was 6 pounds 6 ounces at birth and dropped to 5 kg 15.5 ounces to 2 days. After 4 days, 6 pounds was 1 ounces today weighed 6 pounds 4 ounces, so it wins and removal of wet and dirty diapers, and she gets enough milk, because their purpose is the color yellow shit. She did not win as quickly as it should be.
You eat enough, even when I wake up to eat, too. The problem is that they are so sleepy and lazy in the chest. In the hospital they told me I was a little funky with his tongue, so I suck on his finger before nursing. But if I do, I can feel it sucking lazy and weak. It is not a pacifier, so there is no nipple confusion.
I do not want to give him formula, but I am concerned about their weight is not enough. The pediatrician have just arrived back to list next week and her weight.

To add to what everyone said, and all are 100% correct: * Almost all *
"It is normal for a child to be sleeping in the chest. The enzymes in milk, which I am your dream, and I'm sure he feels the same when you are his sister. I am a nurse in this, and I think I could curl up and sleep than usual.
You do everything. I thought I first read this ... Wow this is the first time I can honestly say that the mother did everything right. Come on. To require a nurse. Nurse for comfort. -Creation and nurses do not receive breast milk flows better mom than a nice change.
She is gaining weight and has the right amount of wet diapers. Some babies are slower than others to win, but, and was our baby. The doctor insisted that "the formula". I ignored him and walked on. Our daughter was very beautiful.
Wait. If you are interested, or if the weight gain did not gather, request the assistance of a lactation consultant before the formula. At this point you are gues seconds. sing You have no crystal ball to look within themselves and those who are good and calm anxiety. Get a little help now and a backup plan ... just in case. From my own experience ... Doctors are able to propose and lobby on the first option and it is not necessary in most cases.
Stand firm and give you a hug ... All babies are different, even from the same mother and father.
Have you tried it with clothes and t-shirt-feed? The lactation consultant who me to the hospital. I think his weight is really good. While she is winning, I see no reason for concern.
When babies are born, they have all this water retention, and fluid loss during the first few days. It is not unusual or unhealthy for a baby, lose weight, the first two days, then begins the weight gain. If the pediatrician is not worried, you should not. I also wish that breastfeeding is hard work, do not stress me, but it takes two to tango, and both are learning to do. Within weeks, the supply will increase as your milk. If there are enough dirty diapers, do not worry too much.
my baby is not the same, she fell asleep immediately after use, I went to sleep and woke up immediately, so I decided to complete the formula, I would not because I felt guilty, but I am glad that I not because it helps us in a routine, and best of all, but I feel frustrated. Everyone is happy
Really - your weight gain is not so slow.
It's all right here - wins (at your own pace, which is good) layers, it's wet and dirty, feeding on demand, and the evening is at your side and have full access to your chest - everything is perfect.
You are unnecessarily stressed.
My daughter is 4 weeks after birth weight back, but nothing that breast milk has never been an option - it was not necessary.
And his daughter is also very good.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Breastfeeding on demand is the best thing we can do - and they still won.
First, consult a lactation specialist, or if you can not do it, a scale and weigh your baby before and after meals to determine what you get.
If you add to that only their milk production will be reduced.
Get your almost naked and aroused breastfeeding. Do not waste their energy wept before breast-feeding (not that you or something).
I think if there is more regularly, it is very good. It will not win as quickly as an older baby, I go by the percentage change in weight. They should go back to his birth weight of the 2 Week, if you still have a few days.
You're doing good, mom to keep up with him and all this term is a distant memory.
Congratulations!
Although most doctors still a little worried when a baby has not regained her birth weight by 2 weeks are the recommendations made in 2-3 weeks. So less than 2 ounces in 12 days is really good. Even if you had an IV during labor, it is likely that their weight artificially inflated by fluid, so you may have already won their weight at birth was natural.
Follow the advice of your pediatrician about it - the wait for a week well, as long as the layers show that it eats. If you think you need more milk to finish, you can always pump for a few minutes and then it takes until the breast. And we can not be bad to get off independently when breastfeeding!
This weight gain is perfect! perfectly normal!
Do not enter the formula, if you want to breastfeed. she wins (the exact amount), which means that it is to get milk! ....
no way to lose weight babies up to 10% of body weight in the first days ....
My baby is 6 12 birth, was reduced to 6 4 to hospital (2 days) 6 to leave even 5 days, back to 6 4 to 8 days and again at 6 12 to 16 days.
Once your baby starts to win, can hope to win, is 1 ounce per day, and usually baby should be back at birth weight by 2 weeks.
Sometimes, to eat my son to wake up all his clothes and get his feet wet with a clean washcloth and cold. He did not know how, but was awake .... It seems, honestly, you are well ... it is yet to learn to eat ... in a few weeks you will be amazed at how OT eating habits have changed and how fast it grows. If you are honest, uncomfortable, a lactation consultant to assure you find!
at 2 weeks, the doctors are not filed, if the child does not make a backup copy of their birth weight.
My doctor was surprised that my little girl had gained all his weight behind 1/2lb to 2 weeks. (It was bigger than its small)
do not worry too much. Always Be My Baby fell asleep and had a bad ending is the first as well, and they were concerned about their language are related. They speak with a specialist breast-feeding. If you do nothing to reassure Thye.
Firstly, I am not an expert, if the doctor or lactation specialist to know better. However, I had a similar situation with my daughter who is 9 months. In fact, it was not a lazy fool, but it was sucked on, then fell asleep and I had to wake up everything possible in order to do something to eat and had finally to the pump and allowed only bottles for them. I finally decide, to complete the form on the night and pumps, while my husband fed him, so I can keep my milk. I would say that if you are really interested in and the doctor or lactation consultant is no comforting answer, you must follow your instincts. Not too cliché, but the mothers always know best.
