I'll begin by saying I have absolutely no concerns myself - DS2 is a content little lad, full of smiles, sleeps well, poos daily, etc. I had been feeling quite pleased about how feeding was going (was on formula by this time with DS1 due to lack of confidence/experience and some advice that was in retrospect not what we needed to do - but anyway...)
Dropped in for a weigh today with our trusty red book and he's heading towards a drop of two centiles (or two lines on that bloody chart) compared to where he was at birth. Am heading to a breastfeeding group tomorrow (run by HVs) and just a bit worried about being able to stand my ground rather than being pathetic and just crying if/when anyone starts yammering on about formula. I should add, I have nothing against formula feeding at all but it's not what I want to be doing at this point in time for my baby - at least not as a first port of call.
Any wise words? I'll probably follow up with a visit to the NCT breastfeeding gang later this week as I've got a bit more confidence in them being more pro-breastfeeding!
Sorry for the ramble
