[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) you need to work with an IBCLC if your baby is having weight issues. A weighted feed is when an IBCLC, with a special scale (nothing you can afford to buy at home), weighs the baby before and after you feed. It shows how much the baby is actually transferring at the breast.

2) Has baby been evaluated by someone with extensive training for a tongue tie or other suck dysfunction? Is baby pooping on and off the breast? Clicking while nursing?

3) Is baby draining your breast when baby feeds? If not I would continue pumping while you sort this all out. I would also make sure to finish the first breast first and offer the 2nd just as “dessert”

4) Also, the least of your focus should be your diet. Unless you are malnourished, your body will make sufficient milk.

Susan Howard with Arlington Lactation is an expert and has helped me immensely. She leads the free weekly groups at Virginia Hospital Center and also had a private practice. [/quote]
