Right maybe a long one...
Lacey is 8 week old and she is 9lb 3oz. The last time she got weighed so had only put on 3oz in 10 days which they said wasn't enough and if it happens next week she has to see a doctor. She did have great weight gain up until now, she never even lost in the first few weeks which they can and alot do. So shes always been good with putting on weight. She is on cow and gate comfort and has been since 4/5 week old and has also slept right through since then. For her weight its worked out that shes meant to have 22 1/2 oz a day but she doesn't. she had 18 oz yestoday but she had her jabs so cannot rely on that being what she usually has as it could be a reaction to the injections. I know its probably not 22 1/2 oz she has its probably less as shes not a big eater and shes only little for her age and was 6lb 1 1/2 oz when she was born so she was 10th centile a bit on the small side they said. Last night she slept for 13+ hours without a bottle but it could be cos of the jabs but she still sleeps ALOT at night without a feed which is really worrying me. If we wake her for a feed and try to put the bottle in her mouth she gets really upset cos she doesnt want it and no matter what we do or how many times we wake her up and try she will not drink through night if she hasnt woke on her own to be fed. Any advice? I can't stop worrying, i am worrying so much i am bothered i am gonna drive myself round the bend, literally! Sorry its so long just wanted to get everything in. xxx

shes also on infant gaviscon which is helping silent reflux. So not alot of screaming fits now either (touch wood) lol. Very pleased this morning as shes managed to get exactly 22 1/2 ounces into her! I am gonna chill out now and just let her be, if she wants to sleep i will just enjoy it lol. xxx
