So I saw the midwife today and it’s day 10 and baby has lost another 40grams so she said she wouldn’t discharge us and she has to be reweighed in Tuesday she’s breastfed and they said to try increasing feeds has anyone else had any experience of this I’m now worried she’s not getting enough milk as she hasn’t been pooing much but the midwife did not seem too concerned

We had the same issue, Theo was 31 days before he was discharged. Is she feeding from both sides? I was told to feed every 2 hours, even if you have to wake baby to feed and change her nappy when she starts dropping off to sleep so she feeds from both sides. X

I tend to feed her from one boob each feed the midwife said today to try feeding her from one boob and express from the other to try and increase my supply so maybe I’ll try that but I never brought a pump bottles etc because I had no problem feeding my others x

How often is she feeding? How long for?

As long as a good amount of wet nappies and some dirty wouldnt worry :) breast fed babies can go 10 days without pooing :) how much does she poo? Xx

@jennypoulter Yeah try eating more calories as you burn more when breast feeding :) It will help your milk.production :) also drink lots of water, eats oats and greens xx
