Dear Becky,
This baby would benefit from heavy cluster feeding. I often
instruct parents to feed a baby every 1-2-3 hours, and teach there is a
little higher fat content in the milk with the subsequent close feedings.
Also how a newborn's normal feeding pattern is cluster feeding before or
after naps. How did the I and O look? Is mom keeping a record for the
next few days?
Another thought.....was the birth weight an error?
