Katanya, Just wanted to pop in and mention something I discussed re babies/weight etc with a couple of paeds. at the hospital recently............

Olivia has always been a titch......she is 16 months and still only just 9kg (so off the charts in terms of percentiles). I am always concerned about this, obviously, but am reassured by the fact that she does actually eat a lot. She, on occasion, does still "feel" skinny, but other days feels fleshier, IYKWIM?

Anyway, I spoke at length about this when we had all the hospital dramas a week or so back, as of course I was spinning out that her leg aches/pains/infections was a result of malnutrition etc.

All 3 of the consultants I spoke to suggested that once babies get to around 12 months, regardless of BF/FF/Solids intake, that their weight plateaus out, and babies at the low end of the scale automatically generally lose weight on regular occasions, due to their metabolism/activity levels.

Anyway, I then spoke to MIL (who is also a dietician) about this, and she confirmed what they had said, and also mentioned to me that DH at around 15 months lost weight consistently due to his activity levels firing.........(so Olivia obviously takes after him).

Anyway, this may be of no help to you whatsoever, but thought I would share it just in case?
