Hi all
my bf dd is 7 weeks old. She feeds every 2-3 hours, 15-20 min, both sides, no supply issues.
She is alert and healthy and growing bigger.
Today at HV clinic, they were a bit concerned because she is slipping from just under the 25th percentile line at birth to just above the neXT line down (9th). She is gaining just slowly. They asked me to come fortnightly (at 1st weekly but I pointed out the policy is fortnightly!).
I feel worried now. My baby isn't growing!
But everything that could cause this doesn't apply. Supply, feeding, health ... All fine. The Hv couldn't suggest ANYTHING I could change. Just said carry on feeding 2 hourly. I feel quite helpless now as I want her to gain more but apparently there's nothing to suggest.
Any ideas?!?
