As ur babies wait was increasing perfectly normal till this episode of weight loss..Generals Weights doubles the birth weight at 5month and triples birth weight at 12month.I think if baby is not I'll accepting feeds and tolerating well then continue breast feed and keep observing for 2more weeks.. In the meantime stop giving cows milk if u have started.. As cows milk causes problem if introduced early before 1year.
Next Steps
stop Cows milk if started
