Baby cluster feeding at 7.5 months and not gaining weight

[thethirdbiscuiteer]

DD is 7.5 months and is a generally happy baby.

She was born on the 50th centile and grew quickly to be 9kg at 6 months and a week, which equated to the 95th (!) centile. However, growth stalled around then, and she's still 9kg. This is now equal to the 90th centile, which is still big.

I'm a bit worried she's dropping centile rank, but at least she's not dropping weight. She's still (breast) feeding lots, and has in fact increased feeding. She also eats a very small amount of solids (BLW).

Anyone else's baby do this? Should I be worried? I told the HV who didn't seem to understand the difference between absolute and relative (centile) weight...

It's not a 'rank'. I don't know what this obsessiosion is with having excessively fat babies.
At her age, she's becoming more active so weight gain does slow down. I wouldn't worry, especially at 96th centile, there's plenty of room for a slowed weight gain.

Thanks FTMF30. I used rank purely in the scientific sense. The purpose of using percentiles is to rank grouped data. No implication of larger being better here.

I probably wouldn't be worried if she were gaining weight more slowly, but she's not gaining any weight at all.

Anyone else experience this too, and can put my mind at ease?
