Thread for those of us whose los are:
- Healthy
- Meeting developmental milestones
- Producing plenty of soaking wet nappies
- Producing several pooey nappies (quantity varies after first six weeks or so)
-
Gaining weight...
but just much more slowly than the centile charts tell us they should.
This is a thread for help, support and understanding from other Mums who have "been there, done that".
It's where we can share links, share our stories and what if anything we have done to help our lo's weight gain - or whether we've just ditched the scales and looked at the baby.
However, we also don't want to lull other Mums into a false sense of security; if your lo is not meeting the criteria at the top then it is best to get help from a breastfeeding counsellor (or general infant feeding specialist - not all slow gaining babies are breastfed) or supportive health care professional.
