Any babies lose weight after starting solids?

Worth noting the rough measurements on the scale can be way off, whenever we have tried it's been totally different to the HV measurements
If he’s more on the goo aswell too they sometimes lose weight x
My boy hasn’t gained any weight in almost a month, I assumed it was because he started crawling and he’s burning a lot of calories (8.5 months)
My baby did not lose weight but her growth is slower. She is tall and lean too. I noticed that if I give solids she doesn’t want much milk. So I give milk first then solids. Make sure the solids have a lot of fat in it and enough calories. Example: 2 spoons of zuchinni and 1 table spoon olive oil She’s also more active and crawling now so she doesn’t have her arm rolls
She is breastfed too
No, my baby went from 20th centile to 75th since weaning🤣
Yeah I think it’s mainly down to not having as much milk and food intake being a bit up and down. He’s having lots of high calorie foods. He maybe hasn’t lost weight but just hasn’t gained it. Has started sitting and rolling all in the same fortnight too so that’ll play a part too you’re right ! Thanks all
Yeah I’d definitely agree and say it’s normal esp as you said he’s getting taller, but keep up the exclusive breast feeding!!
i had the same but i think it’s pretty common, i find that my baby gets taller and doesn’t put on much weight and then puts on weight but doesnt grow in height xx
