Sarah don't worry hon its totally normal at his age because he is now becoming very active.
Ky is exactly the same - He never puts more than a few ounces on in a 3 week period...sometimes he stays the same and on occation he has lost a few ounces. Generally though he tracks the 50th percentile on his weight chart, so I try not to worry too much as the Health Visitor is not at all concerned- Although I do worry anyway!
Ky weighed 20lb 15oz at the end of July and there is only a few days between our lil boys, so Braydon is doing really well at 23+lbs - He looks lovely and healthy too!

Its a Mommy's job to worry and over react Sarah - We all do it ...It's so easy to tell someone else not to worry, but with your own you worry about EVERYTHING! - I too am guilty of it! - We should get used to it, we have at least another 17+ years of this worry!

sara he's onlt lost 3 ounces not 3 lb, thats nothing hun, that could be the difference of him eating just before being weighed and being fed after. its normal for then to lose weight now and again anyway as long as it doesn't continue
