Hi all, I’m wondering if anyone can offer some reassurance or if their babas were the same....
My DD is 13 weeks old today. She started her wee life on 75th centile, dropped to the 50th by week 4 and then this week found out she is now on 25th centile.
She’s a happy baby, smiles and giggles and is alert. She has plenty of wet nappies and then a ‘poonami’ (as I affectionately call it) every 3 or so days.
People tell me not to worry, and I’ve been to the lactation Cordinator and she isn’t worried. We also have always given her a big bottle of formula in the night which I had started to wean her off 3 days prior to the weigh-in, but have since continued as worried she needs the extra.
It’s such a worry. I’ve hired a hospital grade double pump now to express, and started giving her 30-40ml top ups after a feed just so she has a bit more.
Has anyone had this with their babies and did they turn out ok?
Just to add that me and my partner are both quite slight people, (think everyone was a bit shocked when she I as born such a good size, 8lb 5oz, when I’m such a small women -a small framed 5ft 6inches, 8.5 stone and a size 8 before pregnancy. -that’s changed now mind!)
Thanks a lot anyone who can help.
