We had weight issues when Wee Man was born. He was a very robust 9lb 5oz but quickly lost weight over the first few days dropping to just under 8lb. He had a tongue tie and so wasn't feeding very efficiently. One of my "favourite" moments was bring told by the midwife that if he lost any more weight he would be hospitalised, but not to worry because that would affect my milk supply. Aaahhh!!!
After a few weeks of struggling, topping up with formula and finally getting his tongue tie snipped, we got feeding cracked. I'm chuffed that he is now gaining weight perfectly and has been following the 50th percentile for a good few months.
On his half birthday he weighed in at 17lb 11oz - perfect.
