2 month old baby
Hello everyone, I am a first time mom and I’m really upset and I feel like the worst mom ever. My baby is 2 months old now, when he was first born he was 6 pounds 6 ounces and now at 2 months he is only 8 pounds. We have had many different weight checks and every time the pediatrician tells me that he’s not gaining enough weight, which makes me feel like such a bad mom. The first time the pediatrician said something I changed to nursing him every three hours instead on demand. Which that seemed like it helped until the next appointment and then he still wasn’t gaining enough weight and then he said switch to every 2 hours. When we went back he said he still wasn’t gaining enough weight so my pediatrician then said to try MCT oil and instead of nursing all day do 2 bottles of 5mls each a day. Which we just started that yesterday and we have another weight check in 2 weeks so we will see if that will help. If that dosent help, does anyone know what the next step will be? Just so I can be prepared for anything and everything. Or anything that can help because like I said I just feel like a terrible mom and I’ve been trying so hard since day 1.
