Hi, another worried post from me! DD was 8lb 10 at birth and now at 14 weeks 5 dats she is down on the 9th centile at 11lb 13. HV wasn't worried - she is healthy and happy and feeding plenty - but would like to hear other positive stories of babies going from 75th to 9 centile in 3 months or similar if anyone has any!
Thanks x

DS dropped from 75th at birth to 9th within a couple of weeks where he stayed til 4 months, and then moved to 50th by 6 months exclusive bf.
I had issues with latch and supply, that I managed to overcome eventually.

Nothing wrong with baby being on 9th centile, and as yours was a gradual drop it doesn't sound like there's necessarily anything wrong.

There are things you can do if you want to try and feed her up more, like offering 2/3 (or more) 'sides' per feed, breast compression, herbs etc.
