Hi. The conflicting advice does make it difficult -what is a newmum to think? Te me, what has her growth rate been like? Usually babies don't thrive on just 6 feeds - some do but most need more feeds. And several poos a day is more common in a newborn.
She was born 3300 gms.
Lost 240gms day 3.
Day 5 hadn't lost, hadn't gained.
Day 12 gained 60gms (3120 total weight).
Day 20 gained another 195gms (3315 total).
Day 27 gained 75gms (total 3390 gms).
5 weeks gained 140gms (total 3530 gms)
Now 6 weeks .. not due for weigh for 3 more weeks. Going to see if I can find a local Chemist to weigh her inbetween or see if the Doctors have scales.
