A specialised support package for babies with faltering or concerning weight gain
Three weeks of clinical oversight when weight gain matters
When a baby’s weight gain slows, advice gets chaotic.
Increase top-ups. Push volume. Wait and see. Try medication. Switch bottles. Switch formula.
Meanwhile, you’re watching the numbers and wondering if you’re missing something important.
Most parents in this position are told to wait.
This support is for when “wait and see” feels like the wrong call.
For three weeks, feeding and growth are monitored by a clinician, with plan changes based on your baby’s response, so you are not left carrying this alone.
This support is for you if
- your baby’s weight gain is slow or dropping centiles
- you’ve increased feeds or top-ups without improvement
- feeds feel hard, exhausting, inconsistent or stressful
- you want a clear plan and ongoing clinical input, not a one-off opinion
What you get
- Comprehensive assessment and feed review
- Full feeding and growth history analysis
- Growth chart and centile trajectory interpreted in context
- Feeding observation (breast or bottle) to assess effort, milk transfer, coordination, fatigue, stress cues and air intake
- A clear explanation of why weight gain may be slow and what to change first
Written feeding and growth plan within 24 hours
- A tailored plan setting out:
- what to change now
- what not to change yet
- what data to track
- what improvement should look like over the next 48 hours and week
Three weeks of clinical monitoring and plan adjustment
- The plan is reviewed and adjusted across the three weeks.
- 48-hour review to course-correct early
- Week 1 review to interpret response and refine the plan
- Week 2 review to monitor trajectory and adjust feeding strategy
- Week 3 review to consolidate progress and plan next steps
- Assessment of latch or bottle seal, flow, coordination, fatigue and stress cues
- Plan adjustments based on observed feeding patterns
These reviews use feeding and growth data to guide decisions.
- Support between sessions
- Guidance on what information to send and when
- Support if something changes and you are unsure what to do
Growth thresholds and escalation guidance
• Clear thresholds for when to continue, change approach or escalate
• Guidance aligned with UK referral criteria and red flags

Important notes
This is a fixed clinician-reserved support package across three weeks. Once support begins, the full fee is payable.
This does not replace urgent medical care. If red flags are present, you will be guided to the appropriate medical pathway.
