Weight worries

Hi all,

My baby was born in Feb weighing 8lb 2.

At 6 weeks she was 10lb 2 and my health visitor said she’d dropped to the 50th centile. She wasn’t concerned and said it was probably due to her skipping her mid night feeds and sleeping through.

At 12 weeks old we took her to be weighed and she now weighs 12lb 1. She’s only put on 2lb in 6 weeks and if I plot it on the line, she is now below the 50th centile. I’m not sure if I need to be worrying about this (I mean, I am) or whether it can be normal.

She’s drinking 6oz bottles (almost ready for 7oz) every 3/4 hours, having her last one around 7pm and then she sleeps through until around 5/6.

And advice is welcome
