LO not put on enough weight

gidge · Mar 30th, 2012, 07:53 AM

I just went for LO´s 2 month check up and they said she hasn´t put on much weight and i have to go back in 2 weeks to weigh her again as the next check up is 4 months. she is EBF and seems to eat ok and always has loads of wet and dirty nappies each day. not sure what percentile she is as they don´t tell you here. These are her weigh ins.....

birth - 3020g
2 weeks - 3490g
1 month - 3910g
2 months - 4430g

Is this something I should be worried about??

You can see which centile she is on in ur red book, u will see the hv's marks on the graph each time she has been weighed

I had a little look on my. Bart and it looks like she's dropped from around the 25th line to the 9th. I wouldn't think that's a massive drop, she is gaining isn't she! My son has dropped from the 91st to under the 75th and it's not a problem x

I live in the Canary Islands Spain and there is no chart in my little blue book. Thanks for looking for me lil pixie. I hope there is no problem. xx

looked at my book looks like ur LO in percentile from 10th-25th(for a girl) obviously she has dropped within that percentile
. yes they will be a little concerned but thats why they will weigh in 2 weeks. 9lb isnt alot of a 2month old.
but they cant be that worried as they would call u in sooner x

Thanks for that link!

I don't think it matters how much she actually weighs, it's about gain more than he figures. A baby is just fine on the 0.2 line as long as she sticks to it.

Your LO has only dropped about one line which i don't think is unusual.

Thanks for that link! Maybe it´s just because she has gone down one line then and they want to keep an eye on her as 2 months is a long time away.

I'd say so. Two months is a long time, we usually weigh Xander monthly.

Last month he'd dropped down one line ish, the hv came and weighed him after two weeks and he'd stayed on the line he dropped to so they're happy with that.

When my lo got weighed she had dropped from 2nd centile to 0.04 centile. She is 6 mths old today and at her last weigh in she was 11lb 12oz. Which is fine as long as she maintains her line. She is just a little one, maybe your lo is going to be the same. It doesn't really matter where they are on a line as long as they maintain it x
