the baby losing weight depends on the amount they eat. my son only lost .1 oz

and that is what makes you a great mother. this is why they have the dr appointments so soon to make sure everything is going good if the baby is not gaining then the dr will go over why that might be...could be he's not getting enough while breastfeeding which is hard to know for sure so they will ask how long he stays latched...for me she was doing great then had a latching problem and I just couldn't produce enough to pump so I had to go to formula and it was hard at first but she is so healthy and that's what matters. I'll probably get nervous before each and every appointment because I have that same fear you do.

I'm really worried bc im trying to breast feed and I failed the first time... I've even considered pumping and bottle feeding bc atleast then I'll know how much he's getting! I want to do the very best for him :( I'm trying so hard

usually after you leave the hospital they do lose a little...my baby was 6.13 at birth and rigjt before we left the hospital shebwas 6.8 her 1st visit she was 6.4 (3 days after I left hosital) so I had to give formula as well...7 days later she was 6.10 and at her 2 month check 12.1 lol. I'm sure you are doing everything right and they just want to make sure little one gaining...I was so nervous for my baby's first appointment but all went good even though she lost more they just told me how to make it better
