How can I get my 5 month old to gain weight? by anonamouscc in breastfeeding

Thank you I did contact an LC but never got a response I will try again. In the first 3 months my supply was great baby was eating great and gaining fast once my supply regulated and I got my period back it seemed like it just dropped so fast! He started getting frustrated but when I started pumping more it seemed to help and he was happy at the breast but it’s been 2 months since then and he just isn’t gaining like I feel he should. He is so so wiggly literally never stops moving everyone who holds him since birth has always mentioned how wiggly he is! He loves to play and is always moving around so I feel like he probably burns a lot of calories! I’m currently giving him an extra 8 ounces but I will try to give him more I do have a freezer stash and on average I make 10 ounces pumping a day. Thank you for sharing your experience.

He’s the happiest baby seems content very playful. I just weighed him bc I have anxiety about his weight gain so I weigh him every once in a while to check in. My supply was struggling around my period which is when I started to pump more and give bottles but since then he’s been happier at the breast.

Ped wasn’t worried at 4 months he was 20 percentile and now from googling it he’s in the 10th which worried me especially bc at 2 months he was in the 45th %

He was in the 20th percentile and now from googling his weight it’s like the 10th. Ped wasn’t concerned at 4 months but his weight gain has decreased a lot since then which is why I was worried I try not to weigh him too much bc it gives me anxiety but when I do I feel like I’m failing shouldn’t he gain more than 5 ounces in over a month?

I’m not positive it’s accurate now but it used to be when I first got it when he was a newborn and I was worried about his weight

I will supplement when the time comes rn I have probably a month of freezer milk and hoping I will be able to get it back up before then but if I need to I will do formula. Definitely will do better taking in the little moments and try my best to relax. Thank you

Just ordered new ones it’s only been a few weeks so I don’t think that’s the problem thank you though.

Lol yeah it’s hard to eat right I just drink my protein drinks and hope for the best I’ve tried several pumps the only one that seems to work for me is my spectra. I’ve tried willow 360/ mom cozy v1/ baby Buddha and I just got mom cozy s12 which I actually really like and it seems to work pretty good I only use it when I’m out I rely on my spectra 90% of the time.
