Does he ever stay on longer than 5 minutes? Is it 5 minutes at a time or is it 5 minutes and then that's it no more boobie? Does he feed often?
The weight gain of only 70gms last week was when I started to feed him unwrapped and in the lounge room. I've now reverted to wrapping him again and feeding him in his room where it is darker and quiet. I'm proud to say we are up to around 15 minutes feeding time (both breasts), whereas before it would be 3 minutes either side, and no boobie after that (immense screaming!). I express after his first two feeds of the day (get about 80mls) and give that after his third and fourth feeds of the day.

He feeds at roughly:

7.30am
9.30am
12.00 noon
2.30pm
5.15pm
7.15pm
10.30pm

I don't wake him to feed, he naturally follows this routine. I've tried offering more, but he's just not interested. So hopefully a better gain will be recorded next week. Still keeping my LC appt.

Have you any suggestions at all? Or do you think I'm doing the right thing...
