Should I be worried about my baby's weight?

Evening all, my baby was weighed 3 times before lockdown and since then I haven't even looked at the red book or had her weighed due to the clinics not being open. She started on the 25th percentile on the first 2 weighs (near the top of the line) and then went to the 50th on the 3rd weigh, which I suspect was because I upped her formula at that time.

She's now 11 months and eats 3 large meals a day, 3 bottles a day and snacks and her weight is near the bottom of the 25th percentile line. Do I need to be concerned?

If she's meeting her milestones and in the same weight she started on I wouldn't be concerned Smile

Thank you! She seems to have hit most milestones, she hits all the marks for her fine and gross motor skills and has bundles of energy. I wasn't overly worried but the HV asked on our last video call and I've been thinking about it ever since!

My toddlers weight has dropped from over 75th centile when born to now shes roughly on 9th (by my own weighing and plotting so only roughly) but the hv said as long as she hasn't actually dropped weight then its nothing to worry about
