| I want to continue breastfeeding my baby but she has lost weight. | |

| Well Janie, as your physician I understand your concerns. | |

| I realize that your daughter has lost weight but let's focus on the bigger picture. How often are you nursing or pumping? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I am nursing on demand, around the clock. | |

| Most babies lose some weight at first. If she nurses every 2 to 3 hours and needs her diaper changed about as often, she's eating enough. Nursing or pumping your milk often will build your supply. | |

 | |  |
| That's right! That is what my WIC Health Professional said too. I will work on building my supply and I am sure my little Katie will thrive! | |
