2 week old only gained 35g in 12 days - so stressed
I'm typing this while I feed so it will be kind if brief. Our dd was weighed on tuesday, she was 2 wks and 3 days, and the poor little thing has only gained 35g. I was devestated to say the least. We've been on an expressing mission since as well as breast feeding to see if she can gain something more by tom (Friday). My supply appears to be low as the most i've expressed is 75ml total but a few times it's been as low as 40, so 20ml from each breast. It's so disheartening. I'm taking fenugreek and feeding and expressing as much as possible in an attempt to boost my supply. I'm an emotional wreck though and so tired which I know won't be helping the situation. It's a vicious cycle.
Has anyone else had a slow growing bubs? Has anyone got some advice for me? I'm in desperate need of a confidence boost. I'm worrying about every tiny thing now - is her urine pale enough? Why isn't she pooing as much anymore? What if there is an underlying issue? What if my milk supply doesn't improve? And the list goes on!
