Addressing concerns about slow weight gain

If your pediatrician expresses concern about weight gain, prioritize checking your baby's overall health markers like wet diapers, activity levels, and developmental milestones rather than just the weight on a scale. It is often helpful to seek a second opinion from a breastfeeding-friendly pediatrician or consult a lactation expert before supplementing with formula, especially if you wish to maintain an exclusive breastfeeding relationship.
