DH and work mates I've spoken too have said not be concerned about DD 20 months not gaining any weight in the last 10 weeks. (she was very unwell at end of last year and only got weight back on track in March)She eats me out of house and home and is very active. I am concerned that she has dropped from 50 centile (where been since birth)to 25 centile (on 92nd for height) and should she become ill again has no reserves.

Am been made to feel neurotic.

It wouldn't do any harm to ask the gp to refer her to a dietitian, so if it helps reassure you, I'd ask for a referral.

DS was 2.5stone from age 3 to 5

He is now 3 stone flat (at 5.7) and no doctor was worried (went numerous times about his weight/eating) so I wouldn't stress too much; as long as she eats SOMEthing and is active and not lethargic, I rekon she's fine

My Ds was unwell just before his 1st birthday and it took him months and months to get back to his previous weight and level out. He was on the 25th centile too.
He is now 2.6 and still a skinny thing, but has buckets of energy and is very healthy.

If she is eating well and active then she will be fine. They cant keep putting on weight at the same rate as they did as babies or they would all be HUGE!!
