I had my week old DS weighed today as by the weekend he'd lost 12.5%. In the weighin on Sundsy after some latch help and EBM top up, he'd made a gain of 40gm. However today, he'd lost that again. BUT, and this is a big but, the mat asst said when weighing him that she had to take 50gm from his scale weight to get the true weight - why on earth would she do this? We're now back on expressing/top up cycle - all this for a baby who is feeding often, with the right number of wet/dirty nappies, who has content alert phases and who comes off the breast seemingly sated (with a dribble of milk at the corner of his mouth.)
He's being weighed again tomorrow. What am I missing here?
