Tell me she's ok 😭
I have been obsessing over my 3 month olds weight. I am always worried I'm not nursing her enough and that she's starving. I feel like it's because my postpartum nurse tried to force me to give her formula. She lost 8.4 percent of her weight after birth (common with c sections) but was over her birth weight by week 2. She's been to the doctors a couple times. Once because I was scared she spits up too much, once for her 2 month check and just Monday as I thought we might have thrush. Everyone happy with her weight but no one is charting it so I have. The clinic by me offers to do measurements and talk to a nurse on Wednesdays so I might go (again)

As long as she is following her curve and her pediatrician hasn't voiced any concerns. She's doing just fine mommas ❤️
That girl is perfect. She is growing according to scale. Percentiles are made up based off of formula fed infants in the states. As my pediatrician reminded...we need kids of all shapes and sizes.
Sorry, I clicked falling of the curve by accident!
My first baby was 21% at 2 months, 16% at 3 months, and 43% at 4 months. She was 11lbs 6 oz and 24.5 inches at 3 months. She ate a lot but just stayed naturally slim and there wasn’t anything wrong with her.
As long as she is eating, her weight is increasing, and she doesnt still seem hungry after feeding I’d say she’s fine.
I would go on wednesday for peace of mind more than because I think anything is wrong. It does (to untrained person) look like she dropped from 50th to 25th but she may continue to track that 25th curve with no problems. It doesnt look like a dramatic drop but a gradual one. How is she for spit up now? Could she have a reflux or allergy making her a bit sicky? I dont she isnt ok but i think with our precious babies its always better to be sure so personally id go for the chat and continue to track
Up to 10% is normal for all breastfed babies, not just c sections. I was bullied into supplementing with formula the first time and it made my BF journey so much harder. Trust your baby and body to know how much is enough, they'll work it out together
Chart looks perfect to me. I was always told as long as they’re gaining and having at least 6 wet nappies in 24 hours then there is no problem. Weight will fluctuate slightly anyway when teething, growth spurt etc
