I have a 5 week old that has gained less than 7oz since birth. She is ebf and feeds all the time. Will go 2-3hours at night but literally feeds nonstop the rest of the time. If not feeding is crying /screaming. I took her to be weighed yesterday AM and she hadn't gained at all in a week. She's fallen off the chart. I managed to get a GP appointment in the evening and didn't really get any advice, just told to try topping up. But not how much or how often. No mention of monitoring weight. They said they would refer to paediatrician but not given any indication of how long this would take. I'm really worried and want her seen asap. WIBU to go to hospital? So as not to drip feed there is a big family history of food allergies. DD1 ended up on prescription formula and reflux meds and baby is suffering with silent reflux.
