? dip in growth. WBC pushing solids!
mitch wrote:
Hi everyone, Well I have a few ? and need a bit of advice. Emma is 16wks to-day. She was born on the 91st centile at 37wks and after sitting on the 50th centile till about 10wks has dropped down to the 25th. She was 7lb 7.5oz at birth and now weighs 11lb 8oz. So averaged out she has just about put on 1lb per month. The well baby clinic want me to start solids. Not happy about this. She doesn't act hungry and she doesn't look thin. Just small. She sleeps from 10pm till around 6am and she seems alert and content. That said sometimes like tonight I feel I am struggling with my supply. She had her DTP Hib Polio and Men C at 10wks. She has had a cold the last 2wks and I think she's teething. She's been chomping her hands the last couple of days but when I offer she doesn't nessecarily want to feed. If I put a finger to her gums she will bite down on it not suck. With all this going on should I be concerned enough about the dip in her growth curve to start solids? Do you think the WBC are being over sensitive about her growth because I have T1 Diabetes and Hypo-Thyroid? Sometimes I hear her fetch up into her throat and then she'll catch her breath a bit. Could this be reflux? When I questioned the Dr he said it was probably just an over sensitive gag reflex. I don't trust him too much since he sent me to the gyn ward 2yrs ago when I had advanced Diabetic Ketoacidosis. He said I just had severe morning sickness. I nearly died and I lost the baby. So I don't tend to put a lot of faith in his judgment. I've never doubted my ability to BF my daughter but my resolve is beginning to waiver. I need some ++ vibes as they aren't coming from anywhere around here. Thanks for listening. love and best wishes Mitch i'm with everyone that says get another dr. she sounds a lot like my 4 mo and we don't have a supply problem (unless you count too much) more ++ vibes! -- Edith oht nak |
