Although I am a lactation counselor, I am also a new mom of a 2 week old so my CLC knowledge has kinda gone out the window. Baby girl born Nov 16 weighed 7lb 14oz, at discharge she was 7-8. At her 4 day visit she weighed 7-10. Went to 2 week visit and she still is 7-10. She sleeps with me and nurses about every 3 hrs at night and 2-3 during the day. She appears satisfied between feeds (except now I am trying to put her in her bassinet and she does not like that).Her output is good 3-4 dirty diapers and 6-8 very wet diapers. At the check up her head circumference had increased and her length increased by an inch. But she was not at birth weight as she should have been. Her Pedi stated she was not very concerned about her because she appears healthy and strong, but has given me a week to increase her weight to birth weight. I need advice on where to start. I bought Fenugreek and started it yesterday I also have a double electric Medela pump that I started using between feeds but I don't want to lessen the volume that is available to her. We struggled at first with getting the latch right but have since improved it and no longer have pain. She does appear to get very sleepy at the breast even with undressing.  Is there something that can be done about that. Thank you all so much for your words of wisdom.
