  I just got Riley weighed today but the last time he was weighed was about 4 weeks ago. I'll probably get him weighed in another 4 weeks, I'm not too bothered about getting him done every week as I can see he's putting on weight fine.

  This will be the first week I haven't had Peter weighed since he was born. I haven't really needed to but there is something called 'weigh and stay' which has been really good for getting me out of the house and socialising so I have gone regularly. It is run by the most fantastic woman who has been incredibly helpful and supportive with all my problems with breast feeding, nappy rash, broken nights etc. I only missed this week because I was out to lunch and will be going back from next week.
  
  While I don't need to have it done, it has really helped me stick with breast feeding because I could see Peter was gaining weight even if I didn't always know how much milk he was getting. But every mum, like every baby, is different.

  I go every week, mainly for reassurance she's gaining weight well and it gets us out of the house!

  Probably once a month at the moment. I think you should just do what ever you feel comfortable with.

  i get Austin weighed every week, max of 2 weeks, more for my own piece of mind really as i do worry a lot that i might not be producing enough milk. i tend t go down to the baby drop in clinic thing if i'm not seeing my health visitor for a few weeks.
