Dear All,
I posted on here ten days ago about my seemingly ravenous week old DD and received some lovely words of reassurance that lengthy spells of feeding on and off during the night were normal. However I am now anxious that she is putting on weight at too rapid a rate! DD was 6lbs 11oz at birth (born at 39 weeks exactly), 7lbs 7oz at 11 days old and at our postnatal appointment today at 18 days old, she weighed 8lbs 4oz. Even the midwife seemed surprised! Does this fall within the realms of 'normal' or should I be concerned? Sorry to be a little neurotic but I am still slightly worried - will her feeding and weight gain even out - or should I start stockpiling sleepsuits in larger sizes?!
Many thanks,
Sally
