Maybe he's just moving around and burning
more calories. He should be crawling and
or pulling up.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. If
he's not giving you tell take signs of
being sick...He's prob just losing his
baby fat!!!

Hun your baby is fine. Sometimes the
scales are off or could have just ate
right before the last weigh in or even a
piece of clothing could have made a
difference it could have been alot of
things. All babies weights fluctuate.
Lord knows all of mine have. If your baby
has lost more weight at the next weigh
then I would start asking all of the
questions and dont stop until you have all
of the answers that you are looking for.
Keep us updated
