feeding routine?
Just gonna try to simplfy my orginal post I was a bit waffly.
Is it ok that lo only has 10 mins on one boob and can be satisfied for up to 3 hours?
She is 9 weeks and is putting on weight but slowly and hv not too happy because she is dropping centiles, but GP not concerned. (she did start on 75th centile!)
Is it ok that she doesn't feed specifically every 3/2/4 hourly she just feeds when she wants for as long as she wants sometimes 10 mins sometimes can fed for up to an hour (on/off)? (I just want to add i would never let her go longer than 4 hours)
Is it ok that when she has a bottle she only takes on average 2.5oz sometimes as much as 4 but not often?
Worried she just never seems that hungry
any advice appreciated x x

Congrats on the feeding, don't let the HV worry you, listen to your instincts, you know your own child and just because they are not sticking to a textbook growth chart doesn't mean there is anything wrong.
Sometimes I feel that HVs have to justify their jobs and just end up making us paranoid and worried for nothing.
