Rowan was weighed when we took him to hospital and is 7.8kg/17lb, I looked in his red book and he's still between 9th and 25th percentile, even with weaning he's still on the same pattern, he's been that way since two months but he's happy and healthy, I'm sick of everyone joking that I don't feed him enough
Thats not fair
he's healthy thats the main thing, some babies just dont put on a load of weight.
I have friends who have kids twice the age of A and he weighs the same as them
hes just a chunky little monkey!
thanks
its MIL thats the worst, every time she's around the moment he would make the tiniest bit of fuss she'd run for a bottle "oh poor Rowan you look starving" even if he's just been fed before
on a brighter note its friday tomorrow! can't believe how fast this week went
Athena is, and always has been either below 5th or between 5th and 10th percentile her whole life. I know what you mean about people saying you don't feed them. Athenas old doctor before we moved made me keep a food journal. She was shocked with how much Athena ate and thought I made it up haha. Shes just a tiny girl. Shes in the 10th percentile for height as well so she really is just tiny. Her knew doctor thinks shes just perfect cause she never dropped weight (except right after birth) and has always stayed on the same pattern so shes just little. The only thing that's different with Athena is we have kept her on whole or 2 percent milk as her doctor believes any extra little fat couldn't hurt her right now. Although she doesn't want her gaining weight either as that would throw her off her pattern. So I wouldn't worry hes just teeny! I love my teeny girl shes perfect and I never had to worry about my arm falling off carrying her around because she was always so light. A good friend had her baby a week later then me and Athena was always smaller then her so whenever we switched it was always weird to me... She was so heavy compared to Athena.
thanks hun
its nice to know there's other babies similar to Rowan, he also eats quite a lot I just don't know where it goes, I wish I was the same way with food
, he was on the 75th percentile for height so it makes him look skinnier than he is but its really rude when people say we're not feeding our children enough! MIL is convinced its because we didn't wean at 3 months although she won't come out and say it bluntly
all babies are different there's wrong with small babies, I think they're all gorgeous in their own ways
