So ebf DS, 11 weeks is putting on weight very very slowly. He's dropping through percentiles, but isn't skinny, just small. In all other aspects, he is absolutely spot on, happy, smiling, good sleeper, a very easy content baby.
But because of the PC dropping, the HV is constantly on me to introduce formula. I've been to a bf clinic for some tips on latch, which hasn't seemed to make any difference to his weight gain.
I'm not against formula, but I don't think it is necessary in this case. Can I just ignore her totally and not get him weighed anymore?
Is it possible to go "off grid" with Hv and just trust my instincts?
I feel if I introduce formula it'll be a slippery slope to full ff and I can't be arsed with all the sterilising etc. I fed my DD till 6 months and hoped to do the same with DS.
