It's prob just me being over sensitive, but my little girl was born 2 weeks early and weighed 8lb 2 1/2 oz's which to me is a good weight.She's 7 weeks on Monday and now only weighs 8lb 10oz's.She's had a bad cold which has put her off her food a bit but she's on 5oz's but tends top leave 1 or 2 oz's. Anyway when a friend had asked me what DD weighed i told her and her comment upset me which was "Is that it?Are you actually feeding her at all?My DD weighs 9lb 2oz's...." Thats all well and good but her little one weighed 8lb 14oz's at birth and is 5 weeks old but maybe because she is a bigger baby at birth shes put on weight well. The health visitor told me DD is fine but i am now really worried because of that comment. I feed her every 4 hours but she wont alwasy eat 5ozs as ive said.Please can some one give me advise???
