Hi everyone,

I am feeling a bit down tonight, I had Felix weighed today and he has only put on 20 grams in 5 weeks..yes that is right 20 ..so he is only 7.1 kgs still

The thing is he is healthy happy and developing well, I was expecting a low gain due to breastfed babies plateau-ing at 4-5 mths but they said that is usually meaning a 40 gram a week gain. He has been sick and has had diahorea, which is what they said would probably cause it, but even so I feel a little sad. I would never doubt breastfeeding and I know my supply is great, just wish he'd gain a bit more..they told me he'd probably catch up in the next few weeks..fingers crossed..

The hard thing was I had my mothers group today and everyone was weighed and they were like "oh he gained 800 grams in a month etc..what did Felix weigh?" they were really shocked at 20 grams..most of them are formula fed.

wow this board moves faster than ever now..

Felix his first tooth yesterday too...he did really well no grumpiness but he is pouring with dribble!
