Hello,
I just went to have my baby weighed today and he has dropped from 50th - 25th centile in two weeks.
He is 7 months old, or 5.5 months corrected. We have been doing traditional weaning for a month now and have gone through all the fruit and veg and are up to two small meals a day.
He is breastfed and i have noticed my breasts have been a bit engorged some days as he is extremely nosy and distractable during the day, and just won't focus on a feed unless it's before he has a sleep, or in the night (have been coping with 45min up to 2 hour maximum sleep blocks day and night for the last 8 weeks).
The HV today said i needed to up his food intake at each meal, increase to three meals a day and introduce dairy, gluten and protein.
I'm worried about this as surely his stomach is only the size of a 5.5 month old and if he hadn't of been prem and we'd started with baby led weaning, he'd only be having little tasters still rather than three big meals a day?
