I know it is quite common for weight centiles and DS dropped from 50th to 25th on his weight about 12 months ago and has never caught up.
But I measured his height yesterday and marked it on the chart (last time he was measured he was 2 months old - he is now 18 months old!) and noticed he has dropped from the 50th centile down to the 9th for his height. Is this common? Just a bit concerned as me and DH are both tall so we kinda expected a tall child and he has struggled to put weight on due to frequent vomiting so wondered if this could have affected his growth at all.
I knew in the back of my mind that he wasn't growing very much as he is still in 9-12 months clothes and has been for 6 months now - and they are still ok for size - all these people who kept telling me that babies grown out of their clothes so fast were clearly telling fibs
