DS is just over 5 months. He is bfed every 2 - 3 hours, emptying both sides. He sleeps 8 - 9 hours at night, having his last feed around 7:30/8. He has about a tablespoon of rice cereal for breakfast (after a big bf of course) and has 1 - 2 tablespoons of vegetables for dinner. He has been on solids for a month now. He has not dropped any bf's at all.
I had him weighed today and he has put on 410 grams in 5 weeks. Is this normal or is it not enough? I would have thought he would have put on more. He has gone up to the next size in clothes and is looking and feeling a lot heavier. I'm just a bit confused and unsure of how much he should be gaining at this stage. Does weight gain slow down around now?
I am super confident with my bfeeding - well, I was, but now I'm doubting it, especially if he is not gaining the weight that he should be.
His birth weight was 2.92 kg and he now weighs 6.94 kg. Would love some advice or just reasurance???
