I know i'm going to be told not to worry, but i need to tell people who will understand my neurosis!!
DS is 11 weeks on Wed and has never lost any weight, was 8lb 1oz when born and was 13lb 14.5oz last Monday. Today he had lost 1.5oz and i feel really upset!!
The woman at the clinic said to make sure i bring him back next week to make sure he's ok.
I do think he has been feeding a bit less because he has started to go thru the night (mostly, 10pm - 5am) and seems ok for longer between feeds in the day, say 3-4hours. Now i am worrying that i am not feeding him enough because he's sucking his thumb now maybe i'm not seeing all hungry signs he is giving me?
We also think he might be teething .
I have noticed less dirty nappies but tbh i have put this all down to him regulating himself now he is feeding less often. Now i am worrying i have been wrong not to worry...
He is still very smiley and happy in himself apart from his screechy time
