LLLI always said 1/2 - 1 oz per day. 1/2 oz a day would be 105g. I think (we still do lb/oz in US :-( If a baby is gaining 1/2 oz per day (low side) but is acting like a happy baby, I wouldn't worry. If baby is gaining1/2 oz a day, wants to eat all the time and is fussy then I'd look for a reason, but not necessarily mom's problem. If mom had unusual breast structure, then that could be a reason. But how is milk transfer? Need to not always assume it is low milk supply.
Saw one last week - 5 wks, poor wt gain, trying to nurse ALL the time with a nice posterior TT. Gained a bit more with laid back BF and got ENT to help with tongue tie. Pat in SNJ
