Breastfeeding and weight gain

My baby boy is 5 weeks old and since we have been home from the hospital (4 weeks) I have been exclusively breastfeeding. I was told I had to give him formula in the hospital as they wanted to track exactly how much milk he was receiving and I had to write down every feed, and how much baby was taking. Baby was weighed yesterday and he’s gained on average 20g a day when it should be 25-35g per day so on the lower end and now I’m worried my baby isn’t getting enough. Should I pump and give him a bottle too? Any experience or advice please? Xx

Why my baby can’t chill 😂

My baby started to crawl and now I can’t leave her unsupervised for not even 10 seconds is exhausting. How did you cope with it? I’m dreading to think how she is gonna be when she starts walking lol

Baby carrier

Recommendations for a baby carrier? I’ve tried a fair few with my previous babies but never really found them comfortable! I’m due in 6 weeks time, looking for something to make school runs with 4 little ones a little easier 🫣🤣
