2 Week Old Stopped Gaining Weight

Emily

My son, Keegan, is 15 days old today. He is breastfed and had been gaining weight very well, getting back to his birth weight of 8 lbs 2 oz at about 1 week. He was 8 lbs 10 oz for a couple of days and now he is down to 8 lbs 7 oz. I have been using a nipple shield since he was 2 days old and I have had a cold for the past few days. I have been feeding him on demand, which is usually about 8 times a day and lately his nursing sessions usually last 30-60 minutes. Does anyone have any insight or advice into what might be going on or how to get him back to gaining weight? Any help is appreciated!
