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
