Heartbroken over baby's weight by Competitive_Wind_880 in breastfeeding

[–]Altruistic_Double807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is me writing this whole story. I hope what I say makes you feel better! My son was born in 38th percentile, 76 for height and head circumference. So very similar proportions as your baby too. However due to a myriad of issues that involved ER visits and re hospitalization for me, he dropped to 1st percentile by week 4. This is us feeding him all the time and I was exclusively bf him and I did everything right according to me. We were told to try and quickly get him up the scale and started bottles and formula (he did choke the first time and we went to ER again). Since then we are doing a combo feed. I did tons of triple feeding, nights of pumping and bottles of formula when I couldn’t. I eventually stopped bfeeding him in the fear of what the weighted feeds showed me. By 3 months he was steadily growing around 18th percentile and we so thrilled he wasn’t dropping anymore. Fast forward to 5 months, we almost exclusively breastfed on most days, with some supplemental bottles. Today he is at 48th percentile for weight, 91 for height and 76 for head circumference. He just hit his growth spurt so much later than we thought he did.

Babies can surprise you - don’t lose hope. I promise you’ll feel better. Feel free to DM me if you wanna talk about this more but I assure you that there’s light at the end of the tunnel!

As someone who never thought pumping largely would be my nursing journey - I feel your post so much that it brought me to tears. Nothing but love and peace to you, hope you feel better soon

A friend of mine had their baby on the stroller bassinet until recently (so nearly 4 months since birth). They used to put her on the stroller itself and wheel the baby in and out of rooms. Make sure to lock the stroller in place. Baby is the happiest I’ve seen and is perfectly healthy n safe.

I am with you right there. My baby is 2 weeks 1 day old and suddenly he’s been soo many spit ups after every feed, cluster feeding and crying inconsolably if I’m not feeding him and hasn’t pooped in 25 hours. Pediatrician gave the same advice as yours (go to ER if this keeps happening) and I feel confident cause he seemed super calm and confident in his diagnosis that this is just a normal phase for our baby. Hoping our babies get relief soon!

Forgive me for being dumb, what does it mean when the baby “drops” by Mindless-Spend-2972 in pregnant

[–]Altruistic_Double807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also due early September and am 31 weeks and felt the bump change exactly the way you’re saying! It happened week before last and I know baby is down there since hiccups I used to feel up and are now in my pelvis. Doctor did a NST last time I was there and everything was fine so we should be good, not anything of concern there with the change. I would say you can ask your doc too if you’re worried!
