Failure to thrive

[GemFrel]

Alexa is 9 months (6 corrected0 and only weighs 11lb 10. We saw the consultant on Thursday and he said that even though he weight gain is slow she is following her own curve and is developing well so he had no concerns regarding it. He said to continue her on infantrini and give her lots of cream and cheese etc to try to maintain it. He doesn't need to see us for another 6 months either so really pleased about that!

I am so glad that he was happy with her weight as the HV has been quite pressuring and up until this week was coming every week/fortnight to weigh and was never overly happy with her 3oz a week weight gain although she has accepted now that Lexi is just doing it her way!!

btw she is 61.9 cms long and is only just on the 0.2nd centile corrected.

We had some trouble with ella at first, she wasnt gaining enough weight quick enough for the 'norm' but they put her on the ready made nutriprem 2 and since shes started solids, shes puting the weight on no problem! x
