@Amaka25153, madam! formula is always the immediate solution! Hvnt u seen babies on ebf very very fat? As in!very fat! poster,if u really really want to do ebf,u hv to eat very well. u cnt diet n do ebf o.Good balanced diet! Its wat u eat ur baby gets frm breastmilk. So if u drink pap which is almost 100% water,that's wat ur baby gets! Eat very well fr d next 2weeks. If u dnt observe any differences, u cn then get formula. Cheers

I feel its normal .. The midwives in the hospital told me that babies when born lose weight and gain it back. Just ensure u r eating healthy and taking your medication. Most mums try to loose weight at this point thereby eating little and then the baby gets little too but I think weight loss for mum should be after 2 months , at least u might have healed properly. Lol I have said too much ..
