Newborn Not Gaining Weight

When my baby was first born, she was very small too. She always seemed hungry, always eating? And she would get cry and get hungry almost as soon as I put her down. It was really frustrating and I spent most of my time nursing or trying to nurse her.

What really helped me was Mother?s Milk Tea? it increased my milk supply and when feeding I could see that my baby was taking in more, and filling up better. She also started to last longer between feeds... And the weight gain became really significant.

Pumping also helped alot. I pumped before feeds, so that I could have see how much milk my body was producing and also make sure my baby got the fatty hind milk. I also woke up my baby and/or pumped in the middle of the night, because this also helps stimulate milk producing hormones.

Doing all of that, she went up from 3% (1st month) to 10% (2nd month) to 25-50% and jumped to 75% now!
