Hi ladies,
Well, after DD having that awful choking episode on Monday morning, and the trip to A&E...we've watched her like a hawk.
I was concerned that her weight had stayed the same for two weeks, and we'd also noticed her having reflux and slightly runny poo.
I took her to our GP, who said she may have a little bug (she has a red throat) which is messing up her digestion a little. She's now taking infant paracetemol and gaviscon, until it passes.
She's seemed a lot brighter (although, we've had to allow her to sleep on us since Saturday, she's cried in her cot...so guess she wasn't feeling 100% then) but I just weighed her (I know I shouldn't have) and she lost 0.1 of a pound.
Her weigh day is Sunday, and if she stays the same, it will mean she's only gained 1/2 lb (ish) in three weeks. Should I worry? HV didn't seem bothered, just told me to stop weighing her every week!! Will it be because she's felt a bit rubbishy? Will mean she drops into top of 50th centile from 75th centile. I just have to pray she gains some in the next few days.
Am just so worried, she has no fever - is eating fine, pees are fine. Just very clingy, poor darling...and refluxy.
Would you be concerned about the weight? Has anyone had anything similar? I feel pretty worried...
I wonder if it's the start of teething, as she had no reflux previously...and she's a bit dribbly, cranky and chews on everything?
Any thoughts?
