[quote=Anonymous]My baby is eight days old. She’s been EBF and I thought it was going well. We’ve done two weighted feeds (3 oz and 2 oz respectively) and had two sessions with a lactation consultant. Everything seems good - good latch, strong suck, lots of swallowing, plenty of wet and dirty diapers. But she lost 9% of her birth weight and still isn’t gaining - no weight gain at all in 3 days. So, the pediatrician wants us to supplement with formula after every other feeding for a few days. I’m oddly upset about the whole thing. I EBF my first child with no issues, and after the initial toughness of the newborn stage, found it very easy. I hate to think I’m giving up on that already!! The ped and my husband seem to think this is short term - a week or two until she starts gaining. But I just feel like my supply will inevitably take a hit and I’ll never get back to nursing exclusively. Anyone BTDT?? How did it turn out for you??[/quote]
