Does anyone know where I can find a growth chart for breastfed babies? I can't find a detailled one with weeks on it. Want to check how Toby is doing.

we've got jabs tomorrow so i cant see the screaming getting any better in a hurry!

lwcus, going to the docs later this afternoon so will report back then. i cant comment on the acid breath cos i have a terrible sense of smell, a secret blessing lol. if we keep him upright for a while he usually keeps it down but if we lay him down he seems unable to keep it down.

he's still screaming... i've put him in the bedroom and shut the door , i've got a splitting headache, i cant seem to do anything

Have you got the b/f one in the back of your red book? My hv swapped mine for the new b/f one last week.

emlou - does he calm down in the fresh air? If so, stick him in the pram and go for a long walk hun - will do you both the world of good.


When Benjamin cries my b00bies go mad! I woke up this morning in a big puddle of milk after last nights screaming sesh :rolleyes:

Choc, we listened to CBeebies radio via the internet. Not sure if you can get it on digital radio, but we don't have one. I just had to make sure she wasn't looking at the PC so she got the whole, "listening not looking" thing. We had a snuggle on the sofa, which was lovely.

Is there a switch on your monitor? If so, you can just switch the monitor off while you don't need it.

Redmel - I have the chicco 4 me and I love it, I bought it when ruby was 8 weeks old as my big pram didnt fit in the car. I use it all the time and took it to Tenerife last month. Its not as light as some trolleys but still easy to put in car.:p

Thank You so much....I have just ordered it:D:D

Feely, there is a link to the new WHO growth charts on this page... But please don't put too much on his weight over anything else... If he is thriving and happy and giving you plenty of wet and dirty nappies then he is doing well!

That was my first thought Krystal - I hate all these bl00dy weight charts...Benjamin is performing against the current charts, gaining 1/2lb per week, but he is likely to be obese according to the new guides for breastfed babies because apparently he is not supposed to put on that much weight when bf'ing

Feelie - check how he is doing by giving him a cuddle and playing with him and as long as he is not hungry all the time, he will be fine.

Am interested in charts because he doesn't have an off button. He will eat ill he is sick then carry on eating! He also doesn't like me stopping his feed when he is chocking on the milk he has sucked out faster than he can swallow. Hungry baby!

Krystal - a few days ago my milk changed frommainly watery with a bit of cream to almost pure creamy - is that normal?
