Hi there,

I've written a similar post previously..but I'm still so worried and my anxiety is sky high.

My 1st baby after an ectopic and 2 miscarriages. A girl who was just under 6lbs when born and lost a fair bit of weight due to me not being able to bf. Moved to formula.

Shes nearly 6 months and weighs 12 lbs. She drinks on average about 620ml within a 24 hour period. Its an absolute struggle to even get 3oz down her per feed. I'm exhausted. She's otherwise quite happy and active. I'll start weaning soon to try get some more calories down her.

My partner and I aren't big and are both short..so I get she won't be big but I'm so worried she isn't getting enough.

Her poos are also dark green ...is that even normal. She is at times constipated too.

Any advice or tips would be welcome. I just cant stop the overthinking or the constant googling.

Thanks in advance you lovely ladies xxx
