Breastfeeding

low supply?

My DD is 1 week old.  She was born weighting 6lbs 11oz and dropped to 5lbs 15oz by her check up at the pedi on Monday.  I was extremely concerned about the continued weight loss, had a crying jag at the pedi with the lactation consultant. The LC recommended feeding every two hours, pumping after each feeding for 5 mins, and supplementing with formula (1oz at 4 feedings).  We went back to the LC yesterday and DD had gained 4.5 oz!  Hooray!  I am thrilled that she's gained weight but still concerned that my supply may be low...when I pump after feedings I get a dribble of BM...it took 36 hours to get 1oz.  Thoughts or suggestions welcome!  Thanks!
