Hi all
I've posted about my DS before (born at 27 weeks weighing 1lb 7oz) because he came home on oxygen. He's almost 3months corrected (so almost 6 uncorrected) now and weighs just over 9lbs, so still under the 0.4th centile. He's been gaining about 6ozs per week since he came home 2 months ago, which I thought was pretty good, but having seen a consultant today, he needs to be putting on more like 8 or 9oz by the sound of it.
I feel like he's still the smallest baby in the world, even though he's really hungry and doing really well developmentally. I'm sure he'll catch up eventually but it's so stressful worrying about how small he still is (and the doctors really don't help with that!)
Does anyone have any advice or experiences they wouldn't mind sharing?
Thanks
