Hey Mel, don't panic. DD didn't put on ANY weight between 2 and 5 months, but she grew in head and length. We had to see a dietician and she told me that the focus (on slow to gain babies) is on length first and weight second. It's easier to put the weight on later than it is to grow taller! So sometimes when there is a slow week or so in weight gains, it just means they are growing longer or their little bodies are doing other things like working out how to move, etc. Hope that makes sense!
DD has gone on a feeding frenzy at nights now. She's teething and just wants to mostly comfort suck ALL night long. I don't mind it except that she HAS to tweak my other nipple and it annoys the crap out of me! She gets shirty if I try and hold her hand, so I lay there with her feeding and me holding my boob with my free hand!
