Baby dropping percentiles and not gaining enough weight
Show your support
My little guy has kinda been the opposite, came early and small then lost even more and was down-to the 3rd percentile and now has me going crazy as he is cluster feeding all the time so I never get a break, but he’s shot up in size. But I will say even when he was at the 3rd percentile they weren’t worried and just said keep feeding him whenever he wants. So, she might just be a little cookie. But if you’re worried check with pediatrician.
Baby finally made it to his birth weight (8lbs) at his one month appointment then gained 24 ozs two weeks later. I EBF.
My baby only takes 6 bottles a day and is still growing and gaining plenty. Did your doctor make any suggestions? We did have a similar situation around 5 weeks. He’s breastfed so Dr suggested pumping and bottle feeding for a week to make sure he was getting enough and he started gaining weight like crazy. If your LO is breastfed maybe try that?
Personally, I am demand feeding and although he lost weight in the beginning after about four weeks, he was in the 30th percentile and now at eight weeks. He's at the 50th percentile. Sometimes babies go through growth spurts, and sometimes they take a little longer. Unless your healthcare provider is worried about it, I wouldn't stress over it just keep feeding her whenever she needs it.
