So my little man only gained 1lb from his birth weight to 1 month. We have been dealing with occasional projectile vomiting (around once a day) but Drs aren't worried. Anyone else's healthy baby only gain a small amount?

Question

Answer

My daughter will be two months on Monday, and she has only gained a little over a pound. Her pediatrician is concerned with her slow gain. We have to go for weekly weight checks. We had to start fortifying her formula (for extra calories). She was 9lbs 1oz at birth and as of Tuesday, she was 10lbs 4ozs.

Answer

Slow weight gain here too. My little guy was only up .5lb from birthweight at 1 month. He is now up almost 3lb at 2 months. 
We had a milk transfer issue due to a tongue tie that was identified and corrected at 3 weeks. He gained that .5lb, then got sick from the constant weight checks at the peds office (flu season and all those sick kids coming in). 
He was admitted because of the weight gain stall and getting rsv. 
Hes gaining a little better now but our routine is s little tiring. 
We breastfeed as long as he wishes(usually 40 min or so). 
Burp him. Pump for at least 20 min. 
About 40 min after hes done breastfeeding, give him an extra 2 oz of fortified breast milk (to increase the calories). 
Try to get him to nap or hang out in his swing so I can clean up pump parts and make the bottle in the fridge for the next feeding. Have about 45 min before the next cycle for rest(ha!), tummy time, getting something for myself to eat, disper change etc. 
Repeat every 3 hours during the day. At night, I don't stick to the 3 hours because its exhausting and I need to sleep a little. He just breastfeeds at night. 
He doesn't do great on formula--supplementing with a few oz a day is ok, but tolerates breast milk much better. So, for now, just tired mama. :)
