Hey.. I am blessed with a baby girl.. she is 22 days old.. she is on breast feed and she is not gaining weight.. instead she has lost 250 gms of weight.. my frds use to give lactogen 1 to their babies which increased the growth and weight of their babies.. my in laws are against giving lactogen 1 to my baby.. what to do??
Thank you for the suggestions.. I hope she will gain weight soon...

Initially they lose weight. The excess water or fluids accumulated when they were in the womb gets dried out. So don't worry about it. Keep feeding exclusive breast milk. You see weight gain after a month

Your child may require more frequent feeds. Also when feeding make sure u dont switch breasts soon i.e try to empty one breast completely....coz breastmilk has two parts...the first watery part and the hind milk which contains all fats...this helps the child to put on <u>weight</u>

Congrats dear. During first few dat baby lost weights it's normal. Don't worry. Keep on exclusive breastfeeding. As nothing better than this. Feed on demand at least 15 min each side. She will gain her weight <u>soon</u>
