[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to whatever your doctor recommends,  I would lay my baby on my chest naked skin to skin and let them constantly nurse.  I'd be on the couch all day eating oatmeal cookies and drinking coconut water.  Try to watch a comedy to relax.

Spouse or family member handles all other kids. All housekeeping.   You only focus on you and the baby.  Now is time to call all helpers.

So sorry you are experiencing this OP! Big hugs.[/quote]

It doesn’t do any good if they don’t get anything while nursing…I had low supply and tried that and it didn’t work to increase it. My baby just couldn’t suck anything out of nipple, not for lack of trying, there just wasn’t anything in there. Plus he couldn’t suck enough to tell my body to make it. Some of us just cannot nurse. Pumping didn’t work either, even with a hospital grade pump. Fed is best. And when it’s been a month and they’re still not growing, it’s time to go ALL formula. Strip them down to their diaper, take your shirt off and feed the baby from a bottle. A kind lactation consultatnt told me to do this and baby.s growth finally took off. Good luck Ige been there OP and I feel for you, but it’s time to feed baby what they can easily eat. [/quote]
