My almost 13 week old (7 weeks corrected) has really slowed her weight gain down (put on 1oz in a week) and these past few days she's been dropping feeds.

She usually has 6-7 bottles of 5oz but the past few days its been like this:
7am- 5oz
11am-5oz
5pm- 5oz
9pm- 4oz
4am- 3oz

Should I be concerned?

EDIT: forgot to add she has a reflux and is on gaviscon for it. She's sick after most of her bottles, not all of them though
 
I'd probably give the nurse line a call and ask what their opinion, just to be on the safe side.

On the other hand, she could be getting ready to drop the night feed.

It's hard to say since all babies are different, but if you are worried it's best to contact her doctor's office and get that reassurance. :flower:
 
Has the gaviscon helped Her keep more of hr feedown? Maybe now that shes not loosing as much milk she needs smaller bottles?
