Baby weight

Not sure if this is the right place to put this as I'm new to MN but I was wondering if any other mums had experienced a drop in their baby's weight. My LO is just over 5 months old and she was tracking in the 10th percentile for weight. The GP said that's normal as neither DH or I are particularly big. Over the past few weeks my LO's weight has dropped to 2nd percentile but it is also coinciding with her becoming a lot more active. She's been rolling a lot into her tummy and playing with her feet more. I'm a FTM and don't want to get it wrong. She's exclusively breastfed and is constantly feeding but not always for a long time. Has anyone else experienced this? Sorry to ask a stupid question but I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

Hi I'd speak to your health visitor as any drop in centile should be looked at and it may be that they may recommend topping up the breastfeeding with formula if she's losing weight x
