No it's a DIY weigh thingy here... I mentioned it to the HV but she wasn't hugely concerned but then she was trying to do a couple of things at the same time so no idea if she cottoned on to the fact the weight was well below the 50 percentile... Will go back in a week and see what they say and if the weight has improved.

Mrs T, remember that the whole range of centiles is "the normal range for children of that age", i.e. from 0.1 to 100! What they get worried about is dramatic drops compared to previous, and weights outside the charts, in my experience. Elijah was below the 1st percentile for a while, and is now still only around the 8th, from a birth weight at the 50th - and he never suffered at all or was anything other than healthy and happy.

Feely, your Toby is just a little heavier than Elijah as of his last weighing a couple weeks ago, and he just turned a year old! Gogo gold top!

I know I know
It's only concerning me because I know she hasn't been feeding properly too if that makes sense? (And don't get me started on the screaming LOL)
*sigh* we'll get there in the end

Elle, don't they plot it against adjusted age? Or is that against adjusted? Seems a bit pointless to compare to full-term measures? As long as it doesn't bother you I guess!

Tine (((((hugs)))))) don't leave us for too long. hope you and LO are ok and hope you can persevere with BF, it is hard and I also second what Mille was saying about standing, I had forgotton I use to do that.

Hope all LOs that got jags are ok this evening.

Utterly bizzare question alert
Any of you who have a baby monitor do you ever hear other babies/kids? If so what have you heard?

The only way I ask is coz at work we had to use baby monitors in all our bedrooms and one in particular use to always pick up a childs bedtime story we always laughed at the parents coz it was all very dramatised :rotfl::rotfl:

awww - he's gorgeous. He looks a bit like our Bob who is a tri-coloured border collie:

I know what you mean.. like I was concerned we were going to get a telling off today cos Rhys has been faffing with his feeding for the last week - no point in me worrying about centiles though! Hopefully we'll be sorted once the meds are out his system

Don't know what my neighbours are up to but they've just slammed a door so hard my house shook! Probably rowing again, it's one of her favourite things to do when they row... I really dislike her!

ooh we've got one like that too. We also used to get loud music at silly o'clock. We reported her to the council and it seemed to stop for a
bit then it started again, I went round to ask her to turn it down as I wanted to put Daniel to bed she was as nice as pie to my face but as o was about to shut the door she was slagging me off to her mates I was that upset
DH wanted to go round and knock her out I had to plead with
him to just let it lie. She is currently sat in her car engine running internal lights on and keeps reversing the car and then parking it back up! No wonder social services won't give her her baby girl back (that's a whole other story)

That is against his corrected age.. 2.7kg at 3wks - on the 50th centile, he'd be 4kg!

The dietician won't be there on Thursday but I'll ask the consultant.. I don't think there's much else they can do, other than added yet more fortifier powder to his milk. Come to think of it, that's what they might do because he's a lot heavier (amazingly!) now than when it was first prescribed.. Will go add that to my list of queries!

Bob looks exactly like Toby who is one of my mum and dads dogs. Only difference is Toby is all black and a bit fatter.
