Holly has only gained .2 kg in 2 weeks. I was pretty shocked because she seems well and every thing seemed to be going okay.
She is getting weighed again next week. In the mean time I have been sticking her on my boob every minute she will go on. I know thats not the answer though because I used to pop her on all the time and she used to nod off quickly and id let her off. This led to green nappies and HV said it could lead to an upset tummy.
Since then unless she has seemed realy hungry i have not been feeding more then every two hours and squeezing my boob when she starts to nod off to make sure she stays on at least half an hour on the fiirst boob then making sure she is awake to.offer the second boob
I really thought this was goig well.
Any advice on how I can get her to eat more? If her weight gain remains low I am keen to avoid formula topups.
