slow weight gain in 2mo old - too much spiting up?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

My 2 month old gained back her birth weight fast enough, but is only gaining about 3.5oz a week lately.  I think that might be too low?  She seems happy and healthy otherwise, and I think she's probably getting enough milk.  Her latch is fine, it seems like she's drinking, nurses pretty frequently, etc...

 

Possible issues:  1 - She spits up a lot - this is my suspected culprit.  2 - She was a big baby (9lb 15oz) from a family of small people, and is just dropping down to a more appropriate spot on the curve.  3 - I'm still tandeming her 2 yr old brother, but he doesn't nurse that often, and usually for a super short time.

 

Thoughts, help?  If it is the spitting up, is there anything I can do to stop that?  Is a lot of spitup a sign she's not liking something in my diet?
