Hi all.
My dd (14wks) was weighed this morning and has dropped to the 0.4th centile. She was on the 25th when born and had gradually dropped down to the bottom. She is EBF, 6 times a day (around every 3 hours - on demand) and sleeps 8 hours in the night before waking for a feed. Have to go back to the HV to weigh her in 2 weeks and she mentioned maybe having to wean dd earlier than 6 months to put on the weight.
She is a very contented baby and is progressing well, even rolling over herself and wanting to sit up when being held up.
My question is that if she is happy and feeding when she wants it does it really matter if she is not putting on the weight as quick as they would like???
BTW she had put on 8.5oz in 4 weeks. Thanks for your opinions.
