Anyone had a similar experience? My baby is 8 months and was a small birth weight. The last few months his weight has levelled off and he only gained 1oz in 5 weeks. He did have a bad virus with sickness and the runs one week but generally eats well. Anyway the HV and Dr seem to want to 'keep an eye on it' and I left the clinic feeling like a rubbish mum and that I'm not feeding him right. His development is fine and he's so busy and active I wasn't worried about his weight. Me and his dad were skinny kids. I don't want to see any more centile charts or scales now, cos I'm fed up of being told to get more food down him. God breakfast, mid morning, dinner, mid pm, tea, supper and two breast feeds I don't know how I can shove any more in!!Anyone else's baby levelling on the almighty centiles? Any one else feel rubbish because of them or perhaps I'm just oversensitive?!!
