My baby lost 1 pound of body weight between 15 weeks and 17 weeks. Should I be concerned?
He weighs 15.5 pounds and is still in the 75th percentile for his age, but he was over the 95th percentile 2 weeks ago. Note: I am using an (admittedly inaccurate) bathroom scale for weighing.

I wouldn’t go by that weight if you have used a bathroom scale. They just aren’t accurate enough for their small weights.
Isn’t their somewhere you drop in to weigh them?
Anyway if he has lost a pound..that’s quite a drop. Is there anything changed in his diet?
How old is he? I know my daughter didn’t put a oz on when she got more mobile..but she didn’t lose any.
Ask a health Professional if you are concerned at all.
If you truely think he lost weight you could check with a doctor. But otherwise I would not be worried about it or using an adult scale to weigh him.
It’s totally normal. When my baby was 4 months, he was in the 90th percentile, he was taller than regular 4 month old baby. At his 6 month check up he didnt get no weight and only grew 1 inch so he went back to the average 6 month old baby. Your baby is fine, as long as he eat well and he’s happy.
