INFANT WEIGHT GAIN

 

If an infant is not gaining weight according to certain patterns, reassure the mother and follow the infant closely.

If the infant is not breastfeeding well, then:

1.     Fix the way an infant is latching on.

2.     Teach the mother how to know the infant is getting milk.

 

What can I do to increase my infant's weight gain?

·     Stop or decrease solid foods, particularly if the infant is younger than 6 months.

·     Sleep with your infant (this increases prolactin's mother and frequency of nursing).

·   Learn infant massage from a certified lactation consultant, this has been proven to improve digestion and weight gain.

·         Frequent breastfeeding increases infant's milk intake.

·     Use breast massage and breast compression during nursing to increases infant weight gain.
