My ds is 5 months (22 weeks) has always had low weight gain. Was born on 25th centile dropping rapidly to 9th. He's ebf and currently feeds around 5-6 times in the day plus once at night. He has been fairly consistently following 9th centile for the last few months and was finally allowed to only have him weighed monthly. Went today after a month and he's only put on 6oz in a month and I have to go fortnightly again until "he gets back up there".
I'm devastated and don't know what to d to get him back up there. Should I begin weaning early? Or switch to formula? He has had a cold the last two weeks and cut his first two teeth - would this impact weight gain?
