My EBF daughter weighed 15lbs 12oz at her 6 month well check up. I just took her in this morning for her 9 month check up, and she now weighs 15lbs 11oz....
My doctor is having me bring her back in 6 weeks from now to see if she's gained some weight. If she hasn't, then she said we'll start to do some blood tests. She said that they would check her thyroid, but she is growing in length and in all other areas, so she didn't think it would be a thyroid issue.
My daughter is a good nurser who nurses 5-6 times a day, and eats 2 solid meals of more than 6 oz each.
She went from being in the 54% at 3 months, to 36% at 6 months, and now she is at 23% at 9 months.
Has anyone else had any experience with their LO's not gaining any weight between check-ups?
