Seven month old BF baby losing weight?

I weighed DD 3 weeks ago, she was 16lbs exactly. Yesterday I took her in for her flu shot, and on the exact same scale she was 15lbs 11oz. I'm really hoping it was a fluke or something was wonky with the scale the first time, but who knows. Does anyone have experience with thier BF baby LOSING weight at this age? I know when they become more active their weight gain can slow a lot, but I would have expected her weight to maybe not have increased, not a loss over a 3 week period....She gets solids twice a day of a fruit/veggie and a little bit of cereal. I don't feel like it's a supply issue cause she's content, lots of wet diapers still etc. She still nurses 6-7 times throughout the day and 2-3 times at night as well. We're heading to the doc tomorrow.  So worried, and hopefully for no reason at all.

    If she drank five ounces before weighing last time, that would account for it.  :)  Unless it's full pounds, I wouldn't be concerned.

    Time of day, a big poop recently, how recently she ate could all explain a difference that small.
