So my baby is breastfed and not gaining enough weight. Doctor said I have the weekend to try and get…

I am a new mom. My babys weight was well ahead.. I am not sure how useful this advice will be and it may even seem silly to suggest. But, I fed my baby every single time she cried lol. I let her use me as comfort. Instead of just eating. I didnt not rock her.. No pacifier. Just mama. Everytime she was upset I changed her. And then fed her. I would lay on my side because it got tiring feeding her so much. Look up breastfeeding positions. Feed her. Spend the day and night feeding her. Every little fuss. It sounds silly and obvious but it is what I just did as a new mom and her weight gain was perfect. They require ALOT of food while they grow.

Make sure she is latching correctly. My baby had lost almost 8oz due to him not latching correctly, and I did not know. I had a lactation consultant come in and help me out. By the time we left out the hospital, he gained all of his weight back

@cubanese, ty. I don't have a LC I'm set up with. I don't qualify for WIC. The hospital does have them but I feel like they are taking the same position as the doctor, numbers in the book. 🤷🏼‍♀️
