Newborn needs to gain weight.. any tips?

She’s a week old today & lost 4oz while in NICU. She had low blood sugars and was a little jaundice.

When born she weighed 5lbs 11oz and yesterday she weighed 5lbs 7oz. I was told by pediatrician to feed every 2-2.5hrs, supplement with Similiac pro advance formula on top of me breast feeding, & wrote a prescription for an iron supplement to give her every morning.

My question is what other things have you mommas done to bulk up your babes? Waking her every 2-2.5hrs is difficult on her. She’s not always wide awake to actually eat a good portion & I hate wasting my milk and the Similiac since you can’t leave either one out no longer than a couple hours 😑
