Interested to hear other MNetter's stories if their babies were slow to gain weight.
DD is 12 weeks, 3540g at birth and EBF. She now weighs 4800g (at the last check 10 days ago). She was born on the 50th centile and dropped to the 25th which she is now just under. She is a happy, contented baby, plenty of wet and dirty nappies, active and alert when awake and now starting to reach and grab things and holding herself up. I know I should logically be thinking that weight gain isn't the be all and end all but I still can't shake the worry that she's not gaining weight as she should.
She also has a mild tongue tie which I'm waiting on a referral consultant appointment for. The HCPs I've spoken to have made me feel neurotic about it and have told me it's nothing to be concerned about
Any advice would be most welcome. TIA
