Weight plateau of 3 month old
I want to get guidance regarding my baby’s weight. She is currently 3 months 2 days old. Her weight on 07th april was 4.9 kg and was around 5.2 kg on 17th April. When checked again on 24th April, it was 5.2 kg. This suggests there has been little to no weight gain over the past 7–8 days. In terms of other parameters: She is active and alert Urine output is good and frequent Feeding is regular (I have been ensuring frequent and effective feeds) Apart from weight, she has shown good length growth. Her birth height was 46 cm, on 07th April it was 56.8 cm and on the 24th April it is around 60-61 cm. Lately, she has also started to appear leaner compared to earlier. Could you please advise if this short plateau in weight gain is acceptable at this stage. She is exclusively breastfed and takes 9-10 feeds in 24 hours. She also gives longer stretch of sleep at night with 1-2 feeds or maybe none sometimes.
3 month old feeding and urine output
I am concerned about my 3-month-old baby girl’s feeding and urine output. She generally latches well and stays on the breast for a long duration, but after a few minutes of active sucking, she mostly switches to comfort sucking. Earlier, her diapers used to be very heavy, but recently they have reduced to medium weight. I am worried this may indicate reduced intake. Additionally, due to warm weather, she sometimes sweats while sleeping if the AC is not on or the room becomes slightly warm. Please advise if this pattern is normal or if her feeding/hydration needs to be assessed. Also, she has started giving long stretch of sleep at night, sometimes waking up once for feed (4-5 hours) or sometimes she sleep through the night. Her birth weight was 3245 gms; discharge weight was 3004 gms and as of 23rd April, she weighs 5.2 kgs. She does have spit up issues; there are days when no spit up will happen and sometimes she will spit 3-4 times after a single feed.
