Weak suck/potential tongue tie?

Megan

Hi ladies, I need some advice.

My LO is 11 days old, and has only gained back 2 ounces of the 11 she lost after birth. We’ve come up with a plan with our pediatrician and lactation consultant to pump after every feeding (they don’t believe my supply is an issue, I have an aggressive let down which is likely how she’s been maintaining weight), and breast feed during the day, supplementing every other feed with 1 ounce of pumped milk, and pump and bottle feed through the night.

We just got through the first night like this and it was HARD. We’re waiting on a referral to either an ENT or pediatric dentist to evaluate the tongue tie while simultaneously hoping her sucking gets stronger and more coordinated.

Anyone else been through this plan? I’m very very grateful to have a doctors office that doesn’t just force formula and is willing to work with us, but I’m really hoping we can go back to primarily breastfeeding soon!
