a little concerned about weight...and food...
Talia is just over three months now. She is in the 50th percentile for length - but only the 25th for weight. (she is 23.5" and 11lbs 4 oz)
My mom said I was the same way when I was an infant....but now it seems she is eating less than normal.
I am BF her twice a day and she takes three bottles of formula - she used to take 4 oz of formula - now it seems she is taking about 3.
The only thing that changed to make her do that is that she is now waking for a 4 am feeding which she never did before - but she eats very little then.
I didnt want to start her on cereal until 4 months at least - but maybe I should? i dont know...
She has a lot of wet/dirty diapers....but she is gaining less than an ounce a day. - thoughts?

Is the dr concerned? My dr said 1/2 - 1 oz a day is OK - I'm not sure when that changes... She could just be getting full from the BM more than she was...that's what's happening w/ Joseph. It could just be a phase and she'll go back to her normal feeding habits soon...

My Dr told me the same also...Gianna is in the 75th for her height and just below the 25th for her weight she only weighs 17lbs and will be 11 months on Christmas Day. I was obessed with her weight when we got back from the Dr now I am more relaxed. All we can do is feed them until they dont want anymore we cant force feed them. Good Luck and dont worry too much as long as they are eating and content all is good
