    How do you check what percentile your child is on?

    I've got Keira's red book in front of me, I'm presuming the bright red line means 50th centile? Her height is on the dotted one below that and her weight is slightly above the average.

    You know, it really bothers me what they marked it as, it's stupid and irrational I know, but I've always had weight problems and I don't want her too. I don't even know how she could be above average on weight as if she turns sideways she'll dissapear.

    When I got home I measured and weighed her, and they marked her as 15.5kg but she is only 14.7kg and she is 2 cms higher than what they marked her down as too. I sound like a right freak, but I know fine my scales are right as at the doctors it's exactly the same.

    She is complaining of a sore floof tonight, I dont have any sudocream, what could I use instead? It's looking a bit red as she is obv not wipin herself proper after having a weewee. I have vaseline??!
  • 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:

    Yeah, my 1st house was on a terraced street and the houses opposite were very close together so we picked up the lady opposite on her baby monitor ( we later found out that we were both using the same one, as far as I know they never picked anything up from us though :confused:)
    Thing is, they liked to have very loud sex in the room beside the baby and we could hear it as they never turned the monitors off !!!!!!!!!!!

    Aaaahh he is cute
    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!
    I thought they had a rowing machine I was really confused how she would slam a door when she was rowing!!!

    We live next to a pub and train station, we're always picking up the taxis reporting back to base that they need a new pick up :p

    Button just mark it what you've measured it as, I used to measure Chris myself and fill it in. In my book it says which line is which.
    Chris is around 10th for weight I've not measured him for ages but he was around 90th for height he's a lil been pole:D


    I just sent off my first questionaire to bizzie baby :undecided I hope they find it useful!
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
