My 12 days old baby's wt has reduced from 3.3 kg at birth to 2.9 kgs. doc says she is grossly underfed. she is solely on breast milk. what can we do?

Increase your milk: It sounds like your milk supply is not keeping up with what the baby needs. If the baby is suckling well then drink plenty of fluids yourself and go to bed with the baby and give her the breast frequently as much as she wants it and whenever she wants it. La leche is a great resource. The last resort is of course to supplement with formula.
