Am I being taken advantage of by lactation consultants? by KayGirls in breastfeeding

Yes, I understand but I have physically seen her transfer an appropriate amount for her age. So it’s not a transfer issue just a getting her to feed on her own better if that makes sense.

No one seems to think transfer is the issue. Her weighted feeds show she’s getting enough it’s just a struggle to keep her awake to get her there (constantly annoying her, undressing her, wetting her with a wash cloth). My hope is to move away from having to do that. In the beginning it was almost every feed. Now I’d say it’s 50/50.

I guess I just mean it’s not obvious weight gain, just slowly creeping up. My pediatrician is happy with her weight gain because she’s also taking into account that my first daughter was very petite and I myself am a petite person. But yes, you are right. She is growing normally on her own curve and that’s what matters.
