Hello - hoping you kind MNetters have some advice and words of wisdom for me. My 15 week son was weighed today for the first time in 4 weeks, and has only put on 250g in that period. I am freaking out!
Previously he has pretty much perfectly followed his centile line and put on the recommended weight for each time period - he has fallen for the first time from 45th centile to 20th with this latest measurement.
He is ebf and has always fed well, albeit recently he is starting to scream and arch his back on the breast, and also get distracted (if he is not fussing). He has a posterior tongue tie however a lactation consultant looked at his latch when he was 6 weeks old and said the tt wasn't impeding feeding.
Any ideas as to what could be causing the lack of weight gain? Should I get the tt snipped now?
Tia!
