He has lost weight :-(

[mrs_park]

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right section but I weighed Isaac and he has lost 100gm since I weighed him 2 weeks ago

I had a feeling he might not have gained so much but I never thought he'd loose weight! He's teething and has been pooing heaps!!!!

He's still eating well, still super alert, active and happy.

I can't get into my gp over the weekend and my mum and dh keep telling me not to worry but I can't help it! Should I be worried????

If he's got dirty nappies I'd be reassured by that. Are the measurements definitely accurate, same scales etc? Try not to worry, if he was hungry or ill he'd be unsettled. See your gp whenever it's possible but meantime keep up the good work! Xx

Yeah I always use the same scales at our chemist.

I think the fact that he is pooing lots from teething and is REALLY active at the moment he must be burning through lots of calories.

He still has his booby juice 6-8 times per day. He is eating really well but still mainly on cereal, fruit & vege and yogurt. I'm off to buy some salmon and avocado, try to increase his good fats in his diet

I really wouldn't worry. 100g at his age is a big poop or wee! If he is peeing, pooping, happy and sleeping then I think he's fine. I must confess I didn't bother weighing DD between 6 months and a year. She outgrew her baby gros from time to time so I knew she was growing

Try not to worry Hun, my 2nd dd did the same at this age and she was fine. I think this is why (in uk, don't know about others) to not get babies weighed too often now unless you've got cause for concern.
