Has anyone got any experience of this? I was induced at 39+1 due to static growth. He was born at 6lb13oz and now weighs 6lb14oz 4 weeks on. He is ebf and feeds really well (latch is fine, feeding often, lots of wet and dirty nappies etc).
He had breathing difficulties at birth and was given 5 days of antibiotics incase it was an infection of some sort (none of the numerous tests they did gave a conclusive result on why he had breathing difficulties). The midwife is now saying he may have another infection which is why he's not putting weight on.
I'm so scared that the 2 are related and there's something really wrong. We've been in and out of hospital since he's been born for various things (lingering jaundice, raised calcium and phosphate levels, lack of growth etc). We have more tests booked in on Tuesday. Does anyone have any experience of this? Or any suggestions as to why he isn't putting weight on?
