DS just turned 2. He was born at 50th centile, went up to 75th by 4 months, but from 12 months he’s been gradually dropping centiles. HV weighed him at 18 months and he was between 50th and 25th centile and HV wasn’t concerned and said to wait til 2 year check. I am very slim so she said he might just be finding his ‘natural BMI’. He’s also very active. However, he eats very little, which I explained to her. He just eats very small amounts generally and is just disinterested in food. This is despite the fact we’ve done all the recommended things to encourage eating, ie we did pure BLW, we eat together as a family, never try to pressure him to eat etc.
I’ve just weighed him today and he’s now below 25th centile, and his height is too.
Im so concerned that he’s going to keep dropping centiles. He’s a very bright boy, meeting all his milestones etc, but I’m so concerned with his failure to gain any weight.
has anyone experienced anything similar? What did you do? I don’t want to wait until he’s off the charts before it’s addressed!!
