Hi everyone, hope this is the correct place to start this thread. Just looking for your experiences and/or advice really. I have a nearly 7month old who has weighed 6.7kg for the last 3 months, she has totally plateaued and is now falling below the 25th percentile having been sat at over the 50th at 4 months.
She is exclusively breastfed but I have experimented with expressing into bottles and also formula at certain points. She was prev a long feeder (30 mins per feed, would sometimes take from both breasts but usually only 1) Now she is so distracted that her feeds are less than 5 mins and she rarely if ever takes both breasts. I feed her in a darkened room with no noise and wear interestingtops/jewellery or hold an object up for her to look at whilst she feeds all with limited effect. We have started solids 4 weeks ago and that is rocky - she is not keen on a lot of stuff and seems to prefer to do baby led. In addition to all this malarky she seems to have a bit of an intolerance to dairy (red rash around face after eating and eczema worsens).
I am so worried and my GP nice as she is has been of limited help - and said that they don't refer to paeds until she has crossed 2 percentiles.
Is there anything I can do to bolster her feeds and get the calories in? Anyone with similar fussy babies who are generally arsey with food and milk?!! Thanks in advance.
