Decreased weight gain- 10 week baby boy
My baby boy was 2.8kgs when he was born. He was bottle fed with expressed milk till 20-Jun-23 because of tongue tie issue. His weight gain during this time was approximately 200 grams per week. He was weighing 4.7kgs as on 20-Jun-23. The tie was removed on 14-Jun-23 and I started breast feeding him from 21-Jun-23. We weighed him on 3-Jul-23 and found that he has gained less than 100 grams in 2 weeks. Is this decrease in weight gain normal? He weighs 4.8 grams as on 3-Jul-23. I'm extremely worried due to this sudden decrease. Please suggest what can be done to make him gain weight like before.. I want to breast feed him directly.
