hiya,
when my lo had a check up i was told she had a heart murmur but when i saw the doctor again it had gone which i was happy about.
feed wise my lo is 17wk today and she will only take 5oz every 3 hrs which really she should be on more but as long as theyre putting weight on done worry about it.. hth xx

My dd has had her 6 week check this week and the Dcotor said she could hear a heart murmur. She told me not to concern myself too much about it because they can be quite common!?
My LO also is not taking her full feed 80% of the time (Should be having 4oz, but only has 3oz and weighs 10lb 11) and I am wondering whether this has got anything to do with it?
Just wondering whether anyone else has been in this situation and what the outcome was?




Hi ya.
i got the same thing said to me by my doctor when she heard a murmur for my daughter (not too worry, very common etc) but it hasnt stopped me worrying. i have an appointment at the hospital on 17th September for tests.
she also hasnt gained much weight but no one has said whether this could be connected to any problems. she was 6lbs 6oz at birth and was 7lbs 11oz at 6 weeks.
im sure everything will be ok for you as hopefully for my little one.
