We went to the HV today for the first time since mid January.
Dd1 is just 4 and weighs 18kg and remains on 75th centile where she has basically always been
Dd2 is 2.5yo and 13kg. She is on the 9th centile - having dropped from 75th when she was about 9mo. She is on the 9th for height as well. The interesting thing is she has not put on a single g since the last weigh in in January. Is that weird?
We are a bit worried that we haven't been paying enough attention to what she eats.
Ds1 is 5mo and was 5 weeks prem. He has gone from the 75ty centile to the 9th. He is6.6kg.
I am a bit surprised by all this as we have always had podgy babies. Indeed the older two are podgy and the baby isn't skinny. I need to do some thinking about what is going on - I feel a bit like I haven't looked after them properly - because it is two of them.
The easy thing is to feed D's more - but I do feed him often, although he fusses quite a bit in the day and normally the dds are there. Not sure what to do about weaning as he seems a long way from the signs for blw - because he was prem I guess.
Dd2 I guess we need to watch more closely what she eats and try to offer her more food.
I'm just writing this out as I need to think about it properly. I would be delighted for anyone's comments / thoughts. I might not reply til the morning as I will be in bed lying awake worrying
Thanks!
