Re: Dropping centiles?
by

HI there, thanks for your reply.
No I honestly don't think anything is wrong at all and I have just realised taht she probably hasn't lost any weight at all and has just stabalised over the last month. You see I have been weighing her at home and it only occured to me thismorning that my scale is not as accurate as i thought because today dd was exactly the same weight, not less than before ( I normally only weigh her every 2 or 3 weeks but when I thought had lost weight, afer I posted I decided to weigh her again this morning because it just didn't seem right )
Anyway one thing is she isn't gaining at the same rate as before ( she was born on the 25th centile and has crept up to the 75th ) but having thought about it more i really do think she is just stabalisingand coming back down to the 50th centile which is where I would expected to be if you take mine and dps build and weight into account.
Anyway, I think I was worrying for nothing, she is totally healthy and has always taken far less milk than the average.( although I didnt realise this until I swapped to bottle and still can't unerstand how a baby can gain so much but drink so little and puke so much too) She is also a bit irritable at the moment so I think the teething is probably effecting her appetite.
However, I do have one more question. Do you think that her lack of appetite for milk at the moment could have anything to do with the fact that she is using all her jaw power on sucking and chomping food ( she does eat for a long time!) and can't be bothered to take her bottles as often? OMG thatjust sound totally irrational and stupid but I am sure I read somewhere that newborns can get too much of their sucking satisfaction from dummies and feed less than they should, so I think this is what is going thorugh my mind!
Last of all, what a great site, it really is so helpful. I have a great quick and easy recipe for bran loaf that dd loves. Do ou have a recipe section, i am inding it quite difficult to find my way around!
