Hey, im a student midwife - this is such a dangerous video - an extreme minority of women do not have enough milk, but a massive amount of women who give up breastfeeding give up because they *feel* they don't have enough, without realising the more the baby suckles, the more milk their breasts will produce. Also, prescriptive weight gain doesnt take into account individual genetics, the size of the baby, or a baby led feeding pattern.
What an interesting video !!

Initial weight gain is very important !!!!
Poor weight gain can lead to brain damage
