Hi
I am having a sudden wave of panic about my 8 week breast fed baby.
He weighed 7lb 6 at birth and is now 8lb 8. This means he has dropped from 25th to 2nd centile.
HV said that I have to wake him up at night, which I am now doing, as he was sleeping 7 hour stretches. I am not to let him go for mor than 4 hours between feeds, so I am waking him rather than waiting for him to wake as I was before.
I am getting him weighed next week to see if he has put on weight as he didn't put on any last week.
I have a wave of fear that it won't be enough and perhaps I should bottle feed. This is dc3 and I bf'ed dc2, who had put on nearly 3 lb by this point. She did slow down later but not till about 3 months.
