My daughter was born 4wks prem (she is now 17w but less the 4w=13w) but weighed a healthy 7lb 13oz. She has been solely breast since and her weight has now plateaued. 2 weeks ago she was 11lb 3oz and today only 11lb 1oz. The health visitor has suggested weaning now. She won't take a bottle so this is best option. I am happy to do this but am still anxious about her lack of weight gain. She sleeps thru the night (has done for past 4wks) and I feed her on demand. I know it's all averages when they measure these things, some babies are above and some below but this doesn't make me feel any better!
