Hi all, haven't ever started my own thread before so go easy! My ds1 is a whirlwind of energy and is constantly on the go, all day every day. He obviously has enough energy from from his diet to manage like this, however his weight on the scales has been static for the past eight months. He has always been small - born on the 9th centile, rose up and settled on the 50th by 4 months, falling back to 25th by 18mths, and is also short - 25th centile only, and is barely in 18mth+ trousers.

He is with a CM four days a week and I get a daily diary which also covers his food - amount and variety seem fine, as does his diet with us at home (plenty of carbs, protein, fruit and veg, fat coming in through dairy, meat, etc and the occasional pudding/treat). However I am getting ever so slightly nervous about this static weight. I distrust our local HV team so am not prepared to talk to them yet, but wondered if any other mums of small children would like to share their experiences and any tips on making his diet more calorie dense? Cheers!
