I do seem to have a little tower with waves coming off, but its on a switch at the side of the laptop which is really easy to accidentally knock off. I've knocked it sooo many times before and have sat ranting about the stupid internet not working!

I do this, sit there ranting *right click, repair* YOU HAVE NO CONNECTION! Aaaarrrgghhh! :mad:

Oops, little wavey tower isn't lit up :rotfl:

Took Tahlie to Baby clinic on Thursday and she isnt gaining as much weight as they would like and has strted dropping centiles She's healthy and alert etc and there happy that she is fed on demand, they seem to think its an issue with me being stressed or not eating properly, or even both! So am using up some of the freebie prgnacare samples I have left while looking for somewhere cheap to buy more vits, but the lack of sleep isnt going to help Anyhoo they want me to stay on 2 weekly checks so they can keep an eye on her for now, and not leave it to get worse.

We had/still have the exact same thing, but luckily my HV can see Evie's fine and didn't make a big thing out of it. Although for a few weeks there was talk of her wanting me to start on formula but I stood my ground. I tried all the advice given and I was eating more and she was eating fine - more than normal even - and it was actually (or seems to have been) that her growth line just isn't as steep as the one in the book!

She was 7lb 13oz when she was born and followed just under the 50th centile for first month, then at 5 weeks dropped to between 9th & 25th centiles, then was on 9th centile at 2 months, and has gradually continued to drop below it since then, and she was just above 2nd centile last time i took her at 20 weeks when she weighed 11lb 13.5oz. She's now been on solids for about 4 weeks and on 3 meals a day since this week, and is still having lots of milk feeds and I've got a funny feeling she's still not put that much on in last 4-5 weeks and will probably be on or under 2nd centile when I take her to get weighed on Friday at 6 months.

But funnily enough, everyone we know and everyone we meet says she's the happiest, most content, relaxed baby they've ever met. And I agree. She's always smiling, even when she wants something, and I couldn't wish for a better baby. :A

I got so stressed about it at the time when the HV was questioning it, and I remember feeling afterwards that I'd missed out on enjoying some good times with her because I'd been too busy worrying about that when I knew in my heart that she was fine and happy.

If you look at Tahlie and can tell she's happy and content, then she is. She'd tell you otherwise. And she's the only person you really need to listen to. Don't worry about it, she sounds like she's doing great

I think the b/f charts are quite new.

The MW who visited when V was born said she didn't have any of the 'new' b/f charts, and to get my HV to swap the charts when she came out.
HV came out a couple of days later and said she'd never heard of b/f charts. Next time she came out she brought one as she'd just been sent a pile.

^^^^ What they all said Som Alfie has dropped over a centile too but I know he's ok, just petite! He's still in some 0-3 month clothes too.

Evie was in newborn until 12 weeks, then in 0-3 until 20 weeks my little mse girl. and still plenty of room in 3-6 now!

Ebay question ladies.

I've sold some maternity stuff I found in a box in my room. One pair of Next trousers were size 12 petite. MIL had bought them for me in the sale and not realised they were short.
Anyhows, I had them on ebay as Size 12 Petite, measured the inside leg and put the leg measurement in the item specifics.
Buyer has now messaged me saying they're too short, a good 2" shorter than her other Next Petite items and she wants to return them.

What would you do?
