Hmm... Not gaining weight

Tegans Mama · Nov 23rd, 2008, 13:15 PM

Tegan is eating pretty well at the minute (6x6oz bottles a day) and still isn't gaining much weight.. She was weighed on wednesday and she has put on 2.5oz in the last 2 weeks. She's gone from being on the 50th centile to being on the 25th.. I don't know what to do, because she is drinking as much milk as she wants and won't take more, and has been doing so for the last 2 weeks but still hasn't gained.. am I doing something wrong?

She is well in herself, just not gaining weight!

She wont take more?? Jasmine is barely a month (7-8lbs now) and eats 4-5oz 6 times a day... There are times during the day that she will drink more though, usually first thing in the morning and then in the evening.

when i had to take jessica to the hopital for not gaining weight, they said dont worry too much, as long as a baby still gaining weight everything ok, and if weight gain slows down they will soon make it up again xx

Thanks Charlotte, I was just worried because she's hardly gained a thing!

Ryder, she won't take a single drop more! Lol A couple of weeks ago she had a phase where she would take anything up to 15oz between 5 and 7pm, but that has finished now!
