Got her weighed and she's 10lb 10oz she was 10.12 two weeks ago.. She's on the 2nd centile line now
This hv was very helpful! She said I should have weighed her last week too like I thought (other hv said wait two weeks grrr) so they'd have a clearer picture of her weight.. She felt much heavier and fed much better last week and due to this cough she's fed less this week she's referred us to gp on Friday.. She said not to top up just keep feeding as often as I can and she said she should be more awake in the days now.. Also said not to do an extra feed in the night like the other hv suggested but to feed her more in the day.. Makes sense! She doesn't usually work at my clinic but suggested I go to her clinic next Thursday instead so she can keep check on her asked her about early weaning and if it would be better than formula top ups and she said if the formula is mixed with food it's better but not to start anything til gp visit..
Why is this happening to her??
She said I should be taking vitamins too for her so I'll have to research that too.. I stopped taking fenugreek this week as I didn't think it was doing anything maybe I should start up again?? Give it more time to kick in? Is there anything else I can take?? Can they prescribe anything to increase my milk?? I'm providing 4 hourly feeds if I feed her more wont it take from the next feed if u know what I mean??
Overall unhappy with her weight and annoyed the hv told me not to weigh her last week when I should have.. But I'm glad I've seen this hv she seems more clued up!! Asked her what I should do in the meantime and she said just keep breast feeding and not to top up or my supply with decrease..
