Anyone else’s LO not reach birth weight by 2 weeks?
We’re only 2 ounces away from birth weight but seeing his percentile for weight and head circumference go down makes me feel pretty bad (luckily length percentile increased). His pediatrician didn’t mention supplementing but wants me to eat more calories and just keep feeding him.
I had low supply with my first and had to supplement by day 4 and eventually my milk dried up. This time I’ve been pumping a bit and making 2 additional oz per day... instead of freezing I think I’ll try offering some in a bottle after a feeding. I do find it hard to prepare food and eat enough (he suggests 3000 calories) with 2 under 2 :(
