Thank you everyone for your replies. I have eased off today on trying to push her to have top ups and today we've had none. I haven't even attempted pumping. Have just put her on the breast instead. She has a slightly raised temp today (DH & DS both have colds) so has been doing a lot of "comfort" nursing. We've spent alot of time in bed feeding as much as possible the last few days. As for solids, I'm just going with the flow and offering tastes from my own plate. Today she had pumpkin risotto. She's tasting well but not too fussed about taking much of it in yet.
We have an appointment with a paed on Friday and I had to get a wee sample from her today as they are testing for metabolism disorders. All in all, she's breastfeeding well yet not gaining weight. Her head circumference has slowed very slightly (dropped from 25 %ile to just under) and her length has remained on the 50th percentile. Her weight has flatlined from the 25 %ile and is off the bottom of the chart. She has been 4.8kg for over a month now at least.
