Looking for some advice or similar experience if possible please - baby girl was born 6 weeks ago at 6lbs 10oz and took a couple of weeks to get back to birthweight and to be discharged from midwife, however we got there in the end and I managed to EBF. She had her check this week with HV and is 7lbs 9oz and the HV wants to reweigh her in 2 weeks time as concerned she is very low percentile. I have had to top up with 1-2 formula bottles per day for the past couple of weeks as baby never seemed to be full after BF and I had some pain I experienced. I'm BF'ing, expressing what I can and topping up with formula if she's hungry. Does anyone have any words of advice of how to get her weight up, how much formula I should be giving alongside BF'ing? She's normally very settled, happy and alert, HV had no other concerns when I saw her.
