My baby is 2mo EBF and today we went for his well check. The doctor is concerned about his weight…

I think if he was 8lbs when he was born he should be more than 10lbs now

Yeah I was reading that they should gain about 2 pounds per month the first few months. He was 8.4 went down to 7.1 then back up to 9 and now 10.6. So I think I better try mixing breast milk with formula I don't want him to be underweight. I'm just shocked that he hasn't gained enough weight.

My baby is right around the same lines weight wise as yours and my doctor wasn't concerned.

@kirt, that makes me feel a little better. I know I'm not starving my son just surprised he hasn't gained much .

You have to make sure they're comparing and using charts for breast fed babies. I'd keep track of when you nurse your baby and dirty diapers for a while. Supplementing can become a slippery slope. You supplement and eventually you need to more and more. If the doctor did not straight out say you have to supplement, I wouldn't.

As long as their gaining a 1/2oz-1oz a week their fine. My daughter was always gaining a 1/2oz a wk and the doctors kept telling me she wasn't gaining enough. I switched doctors and they tell me she's perfect she's jus going to be petite.

My son weighed 8lbs 2oz when he was born. I had him at 40 weeks. At his 2 month check up he weighed 13lbs 4oz.
