I would appreciate the collective's feedback here. Mom was fuzzy on some information, so it is lacking. Received a call from mom with a 4 month old baby. Baby was 8lbs. 13oz at birth. Lowest weight not known, but mom said baby lost more weight after leaving hospital. Baby now weighs 10lbs. 8oz. No weight gain or loss in two months. Head circumference and height are fine. Baby is alert and developmentally on schedule. Doctor told mom baby needs to be supplemented with abm 3 times per day after nursing. Mom feels her supply is low and supplementing is not helping. Baby nurses every 3 hours. No night nursing. Pacifier use. Baby now will only latch on for a minute or two each side then pull off upset. Prior to this baby only nursed about 7-8 minutes per side. Mom never felt like she had an overabundant supply of milk. Mom says baby is "skinny", but both she and dad were not very big babies either. Doctor wants to see baby again on March 25th. My suggestions: nurse frequently--at least every 2 hours. Let baby nurse as long as possible, switch nursing. If possible bring baby to bed, maybe this would stimulate night feedings. Pump and give baby ebm. Lots of contact with baby, get rid of pacifier. Also discussed fenugreek. Talked about an SnS, but I am not sure if she'll have access to this (military hospital, no private practice LC's here). It sounds like her supply is low from our phone conversation, but what about baby's growth. Other than weight, he is doing fine. He has not lost any weight. If baby does not gain by next visit, doctor wants to run tests. Thanks.
