Bit of history first - I'm quite anxious about bf working out this time as had lots of issues with dd which led to me expressing for 6 weeks. Ds is now 2 weeks old - he was 8lb 1oz at birth but had dropped to 7lb 5oz by day 5. His weight increased to 7lb 9oz at day 7 but has now only increased by 40g in a week. He is feeding 2-3 hourly and we're having lots of wet and dirty nappies with mustardy yellow seedy poos. Breastfeeding advisor feels latch is fine although he does have a very slight tongue tie. He settles well after each feed.
Guess I'm looking for reassurance as I really want bf to work this time.
