Breastfed babies gain weight mre slowly in the first couple weeks. Then they gain faster, and then slower again. As long as your baby is not losing weight, you're doing just fine. Just nurse as frequently as you can
Slow weight gain
My baby came home last Friday (1 week and 3 days ago) at 5Ibs. 2 oz. at his dr. Appoinent 4 days later, was only 5 Ibs. 4 oz. Then I took him by to have him weighed at the office for my curiosity and they left his clothes on, but he was 5 Ibs. 10 oz a couple days later. We have another dr. Appoinent tomorrow, and I'm extremely nervous. I will be heartbroken if he hasn't gained but an ounce or two. The dr. Told me last week that she would like to see him gain 4 or 5 ounces before his next visit. What is normal weight gain? Because I feel like this is super slow. At this rate... He will be normal newborn size by the time he's a month or two old.
