Just got my 14 week baby weighed and although she is putting on 3 ounces a week on average she is a little one and is constantly below the 2nd centile on the growth charts. The health visitor has advised that as she is alert, happy, content, pooing and weeing well, it is my diet that is affecting her not putting on as much weight as she sould. The health visitor advised that I need to basically pig out eat lots of choclates and cakes etc and have 4 meals a day! Im only petite myself and scared Im gonna get fat! Has anyone else been in this position??? Does increasing food intake help baby put weight on? hmm
