It's normal for a baby to lose some weight after birth, but I know it's scary when they just don't have much to spare! Depending on the maturity of the baby's organs, he may not yet be able to digest much of anything except supplements but I'd certainly try to start expressing breastmilk - that's the best thing you can do for him! Your touch is important too, handle him as much as you're able to. He's probably too tiny for you to be able to hold him, but as soon as he's big enough skin-to-skin contact is important and will help him grow and gain weight faster.

Ahh pretty sure the doctors are on that for ya. Don't think they would let u mess with the babies meds or nutrition even if u wanted to. Most babies lose some wait after being born.
