Just looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience. My baby was born at term, 37 weeks and was tiny 2.5kg. We’ve had problems with breastfeeding as he struggled with latching and have had a few ups and downs with his weight. We were on the very bottom percentile at birth and have fallen off it now. We are going to be admitted for a few days so the hospital can observe him and try him on special formula. He’s 9 weeks now and is only 3kg. Currently breastfed with a top up after every feed. Has anyone else been on this position, did you tiny babies catch up? Im small and my husband is average height so he was never going to be a big baby. Everything else seems fine, he’s smiling, focusing well, seems content, just so tiny and they have started talking about genetic issues causing the lack of growth and linking it to previous miscarriages (rainbow baby after 4 losses)

@Scirocco thats really interesting, my husband has colitis. Did your baby show any other signs of cmpa? I hadn’t thought it was that as he seems content/settled after a boob or bottle (after he’s managed to burp if it’s the bottle he’s fussy and uncomfy I’m he’s buried but boob he’s happy the whole time) and he has regular baby poos
