Baby not gaining

Any other mommas lo like this? Our LO has only gained 9 oz in 3 weeks then I took a week to change my pumping to only after his last feed before his long night stretch and after a week of that he's still the same weight...10 lb even and he was born 8 lb 2 oz...he's 8 w tomorrow. So now my midwife (whose a lactation) expert has me nursing both sides, pumping after both sides and feeding him that to get my milk up and hopefully his weight. My nipples kill, he's so
Miserable and barely napping during the day and not to mention he has a really bad case of eczema we are trying to clear up. We are so overwhelmed right now and I'm trying not to stress bc I know it effects supply but gosh it's tough! The best thing is that my DH is off this week so I have him to help all the time thank goodness!
Any one else have this issue mamas?

    My LO was born at 7lbs15oz and weighed in at 9lbs Monday when she was 5w5d. She's long and lean. As long as she's gaining, I think that's all the doctor cares about. She never dipped below her birth weight. Some babies gain at different rates.

    Mine is 7 weeks and just under 10 lbs. She is gaining each week but a little less this last week. She was 8lbs at birth. But I've been told as long as she's eating and has lots of wet and dirty diapers, it's fine.
