he is 5 months old, 4 months adjusted. He was a good size at birh, nearly 6 pounds but dropped to 5 lb 9 then never really piled it on. he was gaining 6 oz a week for a while, but it has slowed down over the last month or so I think.
he is in 3-6 month sleepsuits and is fine lengthwise, just small.
i am tired of everyone else's baby being a huge, fat covered in folds textbook baby but this is beacause I wish mine were with all my heart.
he is v happy and content, meeting milestones (he can roll over, grabs at things and puts them in his mouth) and having 6-7 heavy wet nappies a day (about 90 ml of fluid, yes, I have done a control with water to estimate the volume) poos 1-2 times a day.
I just can't feel confident about it at all.
bf dd was so much easier, she was born huge, nearly 9 pounds, and grew at a similar rate to ds, but because she was so big she took a long time to drop to the 9th centile and no one gave me grief over her.
i will leave this thread as I know it is meant to be a light hearted celebration on bf and i don't feel i have much to celebrate or be light hearted about at the mo, today is a low day.
sorry
