probably a silly question about growth percentiles...

Hello! My little girl is 12 weeks. She started on the low 9th percentile and has steadily put on weight to the point that the last 2 weeks she has jumped the line to the 15th percentile. The weight gain isn't a dramatic jump so is this nothing to worry about? She is healthy apart from having had a bout of gastroenteritis last week, which caused diarrhoea but not sickness. I have changed her from sma to cow and gate in the last couple of weeks as well Thanks :)

I wouldn't worry too much about what "line" she is on as they are just guide lines. If she is on the 9th then she is bigger than 9% of babies born worldwide and if she is now on the 15th she is now bigger than 15%

Aston as she is gaining and doesn't look seriously over weight at this age don't worry

My 8 week old was born on the 91st and is now on the 98th

As long not Aston

This is nothing to worry about . I think you get a referral to the gp if your baby moves up or down 2 centiles but even that isn't necessarily a problem. My baby was born on the 9th centile and now, at 16 months is between the 50th and 70th.
