got the appointment date and time for jessica thruogh today.
was wondering what will actually happen when we go to the hospital :-/
** she is going as she has not been gaining enough weight and this week she actually lost some :-/ and is now way below the weight line in the red book
What was her birth weight?
Is she formula fed or breast fed?
Here's a chart to keep track of the appropriate weight your baby should be.

After you see the pediatrician and you know what her weight is now.
Use this as a guide for the next time your baby visit her doctor.
You would know that your baby should be thus and so amount of weight before you get back there.
Hope this helps.

Hey girl,
Did you just come from the doctors today? The time framing is different from when you started this thread, it says you posted it today, that's why I asked. What did they say?
Was this the first visit or second visit. From my understanding, it seems like the first visit she was 6lbs.3, following by the next visit she was 6lbs.2 or Do you have a scale at home? I'm trying to understand.
Was she born as scheduled or as a preemie?
I believe she's doing well since her birth weight. Her weight increased not decreased.
Just because it went down a 1 pound doesn't mean anything. Just try to feed her every 3 hrs instead of 4 hrs.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, remember their little stomach is so small like a marble, they can only hold but so much.
Just wait until she's 5/6 weeks it will pick up.
Another thing, were you a eater while carrying her?
That's a good question.
