My little one was born at 35+4 and was 4lb11oz and dropped to 4lb6. I really wanted to EBF but got forced into formula top ups. Roll on 10 weeks later and she’s gaining but slowly - just shy of 7lbs now. Got referred to paediatrician who wants me to up her formula and still have weekly weigh ins even though my health visitor was happy with her and had gone to fortnightly. Feel like we’re going backwards and that my milk is getting low :( she’s following the 2nd centile in the red book. Anyone else had similar experience and got back to fully breastfeeding or at least lowering the formula?
