DS was born between the 98th and 91st centile. He is now 9 weeks, and after cruising along on the 75th centile for a while, has now dropped to between the 75th and 50th centiles. I know I shouldn't take much notice but HV wants me to see the GP.
DS has reflux, and was on Gaviscon (now on ranitidine). He poos practically after each feed, explosive watery poos, sometimes yellow and sometimes with a green tinge. We've all been unwell lately, and I'm wondering if this is affecting him. He's always had explosive runny poos since birth though.
My diet is reasonable-have cut out dairy due to DS having CMPI. I'm drinking lots and DS has lots of wet, and dirty nappies.
What would you all advise? DS is generally a happy chap-goes 2 hours between feeds daytime and 4-5 hours at night. He bfs for 10-40 minutes depending on how hungry he is. I ALWAYS offer the second breast but he is rarely interested.
Should I be worried about dropping centiles? He is currently 5.8 kgs (having put on 250g in 2 weeks).
