Hey friends. My son is going to be a month old on Monday and has still not made it back to his birth weight. He had gone to multiple weight checks he was 6lb 12 oz at birth then when we left the hospital he was 6lbs 2 oz. He is now 6lbs and 3oz as of our appointment today which is the same as what he was at our weight check on Monday. I had them check for lip and tongue tie and he does not have anything concerning according to the doctor. I have been supplementing with 2 bottles a day of formula (2oz)or the past several days and he has still not gained even an ounce. I am so upset and defeated. We did a weighted feed with my nurse who comes to my home to check on us and after eating for 20 minutes he only gained 3/4 of an ounce. Idk if we fully did it correct or not because obviously we aren’t LC. I did speak with a peer support person at the WIC office and we are doing all the tips that she recommended. The doctor wants me to offer formula .5-2oz after every feed to see if he takes it and to see if he gains weight. I am honestly so sad and scared on why he isn’t gaining weight. I feel like I am failing as a mom because I am the main one feeding him. I’m pretty sure my milk doesn’t have a lot of fat in it because after sitting it in the fridge for 24 hours there is barely even any fat at the top and it isn’t even across the whole top of the bottle, only at the edges. I hope formula helps him gain weight. On Wednesday they will do labs if he hasn’t gained weight just to make sure there isn’t any underlying issue. I just want my baby to be okay 😞
