Hoping someone like Tiktok will be along to offer some advice......
Went to baby clinic today and dd has dropped from almost 50th centile 6 weeks ago to just above 9th. dd exclusively bf though have just started offering some solids as well as(but not instead of) bm. I've noticed that she is taking less milk during the day time -seems frustrated e.g. fussing and pulling off the breast. I put it down to an upper respiratory tract infection she had 4 weeks ago, her first vaccinations, teething ......but the reality is that her weight gain has slowed a lot and I am worried. Am now thinking maybe my supply has dropped and after a (very) brief chat with a bf counsellor today I have resumed domperidone. It usually works quite quickly so if supply is a problem I guess I will see results quite quickly.
Tried dd with some formula this evening (HIPP follow-on) and she guzzled it - was amazed as she usually rejects bottle outright even with ebm. However, by the time I'd heated more she was cheesed off and wouldn't entertain it. Has given me a bit of hope that she might take a bottle now though.

Oh and I tried to express so that I could add my milk to porridge etc. I could only get 15 mls and it took 30 mins
