I'll try and keep this brief.
DD is our first baby. When she was born she dropped weight (I know this is normal). I persevered with breastfeeding (I thought this was for the best) I didn't have her weighed but she felt heavier to me.
When the HV came and weighed her she had fallen from the 8th to the 2nd quartile. I felt completely awful like I had been starving her purposely as I had been so intent on breast feeding rather than changing to formula.
She is getting weighed again this morning. I am petrified she hasn't gained again. Whenever I take her to baby groups or on the street people tell me how tiny she is and are shocked by her age.
I love her so much and she is well looked after. She always looks lovely and we are lucky that we can afford to buy her lovely things so on the surface everything looks fine. I'm so scared the HV thinks that this is all a front and that I just think of the baby as a dolly :-(. Any advice or experience or even a handhold will be gratefully received. Thank you.

To be scared HV thinks I'm neglecting my daughter.
