You know how one gets no end of shit if your baby is on the lower end of the weight scale ...? Well, my daughter (3m) is on the 9th centile. She is EBF which I am really chuffed with. Sleeps very well, always happy and calm, rarely cries, meeting milestones etc. STILL I get tsk tsk about her being on 9th centile. Fine, she is my 3rd and I know enough to ignore this sort of thing because I have knowledge and confidence (but if I was first time mother i would be freaked out and panicked). ANYWAY, out of interest I compared the red book chart of the 3m old to my 4 year old daughter. And with the older chart, the weight my 3m old is would be on the 25th centile! Not the 9th! Isn't that absurd? Bloody pen pushers.
