Anyone else have trouble with their newborn gaining weight from nursing? My first born did awesome, no issues whatsoever, but my daughter will be 2 weeks on Monday and when we went to the doctor today she had lost almost a pound from her birth weight. They’re checking her again Monday to see if she’s made any progress. I know she’s getting milk because I can hear her drinking it and when I pump I get plenty, but she also doesn’t nurse as often as my first bc she wants to sleep so much. Any one else have this issue and ended up being just fine after?

Yeah she poops so much no wonder she’s not gaining anything 😂
Continue to make her uncomfortable. Also make sure you’re eating healthy fats and drinking plenty of water. With my son I ended up resorting to pumping and bottle feeding because I couldn’t get him to wake and latch for long enough to get a good feed in.
I did do that earlier twice and she ended up getting plenty from the bottle so that’s good. I’m just trying to avoid having to formula feed if I can help it. I could probably up my water intake more too lol
@raisingradicks15, that’s why I suggested pumping or hand expressing. I did it with my daughter as well in the beginning because she slept and slept. Once I gave her a bottle it triggered her hunger or something. She hasn’t slowed down yet 😫
@mswedes, hopefully that’ll help then, I’m still interchanging with nursing and bottle so we’ll see
I’m trying to, it’s hard for me to get her to wake up, a lot of times I have to undress her and make her uncomfortable to get her to wake up.
@raisingradicks15, my babies were like that. I always changed diaper first and then fed them. Stay positive. She’ll be okay.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Baby won't bear weight on leg
I have a walking 10 month old and she has been extra fussy yesterday and today. Today I noticed she didn't really want to crawl, she would just cry until I came and picked her up. After I fed her, I tried setting her down to play with her big sister and she just started crying and wouldn't put any weight on her left leg. She will put weight down on her right leg but then just cries until you pick her back up. I thought maybe she just didn't want to be put down (as ...
This girl on my fb is 8 weeks pregnant with her first child and she said she felt the baby 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️people these days 😂😂😂
My baby is still on the size bottles that you get in hospital because the tete on the tommee tippee bottles (and any other bottle) is too big for her... but i think I need to get her on the normal bottles now but is she still to small? She’s just over 6 pounds 🤔...
Or what is everyone else using to bottle feed baby at about that weight ?
In the first month you should be waking them up to feed them even if they just want to sleep. My daughter was the same way but I woke her every two hours and made sure she ate. Eventually she started being hungry more often since she started to realize she liked being full more han she liked to sleep. Just keep waking her. She's got a super tiny tummy right now, so she needs to be eating frequently since it's filled up and hen emptied pretty fast.
