One year loosing weight

My little boy turned one two weeks ago. I've been to have him weighed this week and his weight has dropped from the 50th percentile to just below the 25th percentile over the last three months.

He has started crawling in that time, and I know that weight gain can slow down, but he is also such a fussy little eater I'm feeling a bit worried that he might continue not gaining much weight.

Does anyone have experience here, and any advice?

He is still breast feeding, but only in the night and first thing in the morning.

Is he growing taller OP? Is he meeting his milestones? If you’re worried about his weight, could you add another BF during the day?

Sorry, posted too soon. What does he eat in a typical day?

He hasn't lost weight, his weight gain has just slowed slightly.

Moving up or down 1-2 centiles is normal. The lines are averages, and few babies are perfectly average.
