I'm really concerned about E's weight gain. He was gaining wonderfully at 0.75-1oz/day until about 3 wks ago. Then he slowed to 0.5-0.75oz/day. Now he's only gained 3oz in the past 7 days.
He's 12wks now. I'm working 4 days/wk, and he takes 9-12oz per day while I'm at work. I pump 15oz/day at work. When I'm home he nurses every 2-3hrs on demand. He always seems pretty satisfied after a feeding. Occasionally, he'll pop off and on and act like he may want more, but usually a good burp and he seems happy and content. He is having 6 or more wets/day and poops hugely every 2-3 days and it's bright yellow and runny. He sleeps in his own bed and sleeps one 5hr stretch and then wakes and nurses every 2-3 hrs.
Should I bring him back into bed with me and get him to nurse more at night? I had put him in his own bed cause he would nurse so much and so long that he would vomit from it, but I'll bring him back to get him gaining better. Should I increase his bottle size at daycare so that he's getting more than 3oz at a feeding?
I'm a nervous wreck worrying about this. I feel like my supply is good most of the time, and I hear him gulping for most of his feedings (which only last 5-10min per side). I did a quick before and after weight with part of one feeding last week and he got 2.5oz from nursing on one side for 10min. GAH! Tell me this is all going to be alright.
