My 9mos old ds lost a little weight : (

He is otherwise healthy, VERY happy and meeting his milestones. He has recently started to cruise toys and furniture so don't know if being more active is the reason. The ped is not worry and suggest I feed him more solids. I've been offering sweet potatoes and pears when he shows interests but he is mainly bf'd. I'm not truly worried but I'm a little sad like I'm not nurishing my ds enough.

Were the weights taken on the same exact scale?

BM has more fat and calories than most solids, so filling up on those isn't going to help weight gain. It is normal for gain to slow when baby gets more mobile, and if your ped. isn't concerned, I wouldn't be either. If he is hitting milestones, happy, and healthy, you are definitely nourishing him enough and should feel very proud!

I should be more clear and say that his weight gain was not as much as the months before. He gained 1 lb. last month and I guess it leveled off? Anyway, he is more active and as I mentioned UBER happy, meeting milestones and is SO point on socially and emotionally its scary.

Glad to know that its not anything real to worry about. But I will get in some extra nursing time

my little guy lost about 1/2lb between his last checkup and his 8 month checkup. I know most of it is because he's so active now with crawling and pulling up. I just increased his food a little to see if it'll balance. The pedi wasn't concerned because he's still in the 50 % for weight.
