My DD2 was born at 32wks and was really well to begin with, at 4weeks old (aftre just over a week at home) she got hypothermia and we nearly lost her... in the end she didn't reach an 'average newborn' weight until she was over 4mths old.
Anyway things went really well after that until the last few weeks... she's now about 8 weeks from her 1st birthday. She only weighs just over 14lb... and is only averaging a weight gain of around 1oz per week. She is sitting unaided, will happily play with toys, is making normal baby cooing noises, is happily eating foods and will eat finger foods for a 10mo baby fine.
Her next consultant check-up is on 5th feb and i've worked out that she's dropped to the 0.4th centile when the last time they saw her she was following the 2nd quite nicely- even creeping above it a little...
Can you please advise on what i can/should do if anything? or is it normal given she's much more active?
Please tell me about your tinies and that it's all going to be fine!!
