My DD is 2 weeks old and due for her next weigh-in on Monday. At 10 days she had dropped from 8lb10oz to 8lb 4oz. The HV made a 'throwaway' comment about her surprise that she hadn't regained her birth weight at that point and it's really knocked my confidence.
Now I'm convinced that my baby isn't feeding properly and I'm feeling low about it. Midwife says she's latching properly but she doesn't feed for long at each feed and I feel like I'm feeding constantly.
I've gone from being in a beautiful blissful state to paranoid. Can anyone reassure me so I don't fret all the way to Monday?
