Vic - sounds like the MCHN is being a bit too text book - Baileys weight gain has 'slowed' a little -between 23/7 and 18/8 (3 weeks) he only put on 240gms but then in another week he put on 190gm in a week (once he even put 360gm on in a week!!!), so it depends on scales, whether they've poo'd, fed etc. As long as CJ is gradually filling out her clothes, car seat and having regular poo's and wee's I'd say she's fine and it sounds like your milk supply is PERFECT. If you are able to express milk then thats proof alone your supply is good!! As for the advice of waking CJ for a feed - sorry but that sounds like BULL**** - my mantra is never wake a sleeping baby, if CJ was hungry she would wake herself. It sounds to me that you are doing a fabulous job, your milk is great and your beautiful daughter is growing healthily!

I want to go and smack your MCHN around the head for making you worry and doubt yourself! The fact that she couldn't tell that CJ wasn't 12 months tells me she knows little about babies - the is a VERY BIG difference between a 3 month old and a 12 month old, she should be able to tell just by looking at her
