My son is 6 weeks old and STILL is not back up to his birth weight. He was 8 lbs 7 oz when born and he is currently 7 lbs 15 oz. His doctor says he most likely has a high metabolism and seems healthy since he's alert and content a lot of the time. But I am still very very concerned. It is all just so weird to me and I want to see my baby grow. I don't know what to do. 😥

I would say as long as baby is being monitored by the pediatrician it should be ok. If you haven't already, maybe you can record all the times of your feeds or how much he's eating and how many diapers you're changing just to make sure enough is going in? Some babies grow at different rates. Unfortunately I don't know how concerning it is when a baby is born weighing that much because I had two small babies where a few ounces lost were a big deal. Just make sure to love and feed that baby and pretty soon he'll be gaining and growing like crazy!
