4mo has lost a little weight

12 days ago, ds2 was weighed, and then he was weighed again this morning while we were at baby massage class. In those 12 days he's lost approx 4 ounces. I didn't realise this until I'd brought him home, so didn't mention it to the health visitor. Is this anything to worry about, or are fluctuations of this amount normal?

Not much experience but my instinct would be not to worry. Was he weighed at the same place both times? Could be fluctuation on different scales. Also perhaps last time he was weighed just after a big feed, or maybe this time after a big poo?

Not sure really, but would say that if over the course of a month weight had dropped perhaps would mention it, but at the moment don't think you should be concerned if he is feeding well and generally content.
Think this is why it is suggested that babies are only weighed once a month by some.
