Hi all, this is my first post and I'm not certain it's in the right place so please bear with me..
I took my 12 week old to be weighed yesterday and in 3 weeks she has only put on 8 ounces and so has dropped almost a whole costume (and she was only daddy to begin with). I am bf on demand and have been since birth. HV advised me to top dd up with expressed milk after feeds, which I have been trying but she doesn't want to take it... she will have a few sucks then spit the teat out... she has also recently started the play about at the end of bf - unlatching and relatching, pulling back and stretching the nipple, waving head from side to side or turning away and smiling, etc. I just don't think she's hungry... I'm at a bit of a loss with what to try now... anyone got any tips?
If it is relevant, she is my 3rd child, she sleeps what I consider a normal amount for her age, is generally alert and happy and has plenty of wet/ dirty nappies...
Sorry for the essay..
