I'm probably just seeking reassurance about my PFB but my DS is 8 weeks + 6 today and weighs 10 lbs 15. He's EBF. He was 8lbs 12 at birth (at 41 wks + 3), dropped to 8lbs at 10 days and took 3 wks to get back to birth weight. Since his 6 wk check, he has dropped to the 9th percentile (but this is now in line with his length.) HV not esp concerned as he has plenty dirty / wet nappies and is alert / content etc, but we're going back next week - mostly for my benefit, I think!
She did however say he should double his birth weight by 5 months and I just don't see how this'll be possible. Is there something I could / should be doing? Or is it just FTM anxiety?
