My DS is 7.5 months, breastfed and we have started solids. He gained weight really well until he was 2 months old and since then has dropped 3 centiles.
We have been referred to a paediatrician and are currently waiting for an appointment.
Last week he was doing really well with milk and solids now this week he is back to taking very very little of either. He is very up and down, intake is good for a while and then nothing. He is happy for periods and then grumbly and whingy. Surely if he was hungry he would eat?
I go from feeling ok about it to feeling worried and anxious.
It's really hard to stay relaxed about it, I'm trying to offer little but often and not make a big deal out of mealtimes but today I feel quite wretched!
He also sleeps poorly and wakes every 2-3 hours for a feed, but it takes ages for my milk to come through and he is so sleepy he then feeds for a few minutes and then he's sound asleep again.
He is very active and alert, he began crawling a couple of weeks ago and pulls himself up using the furniture. So there can't be much wrong can there?
Oh God I know I'm rambling.
Can you think of anything else I could do, am I worrying unnecessarily?
