HELP 😣 Breastfed baby only gaining 3oz a week
***Exclusively breastfeeding***
After birth, my baby was gaining crazy amounts so quickly! He was born at 6lbs 11oz and by 2 months he was at 12lbs 2oz. But at 3 months he was only 13lbs 7oz. Even worse, he has only gained 3oz in the past week - today he weighed 13lbs 10oz
Two different lactation consultants and the dr all say conflicting information about his weight gain slowing down dramatically. One consultant said she’s worried he needs supplemented, the other says he doesn’t need supplemented unless he’s not gaining any weight at all, and the dr says it’s more about height & head sizes staying in a similar percentile than weight gain each week.
Who do I trust? What are your thoughts? Should I be worried?
