The result of all this was that he is most likely fine! Apparently breastfed babies often grow slower at this point in their development and he may just be a small baby. She advised starting him on solids right away, which we were planning anyway, so last night he had his first try of proper food. (Well, I wouldn't count baby rice as proper food, but then I'm not a baby!)
Tomorrow we'll try him on puréed carrot and see how that goes!

lol it's a shame that the photos didn't quite capture the enthusiasm you told me he had for the food! I'm glad he's taken to it so well and hopefully he'll start putting on some weight so you guys don't have to worry so much.
You do know that most of his food is gotten through osmosis at this age, right? ;-)
Glad the appointment went well. I've heard that about breastfed babies as well. He'll probably start putting on weight now that he's getting "food." (Don't know as I'd call it real food either! lol)
