I do!!!
Boy do the MCHN make you feel like a bad parent though! Tori was 3.034 kg at birth and was sitting at 3 mnths and crawling at 4.5mnth and just short of walking now at nearly 10 months and only weighs 7.5kg.
She is not keen on food at all but then will have a good day where I cant get it in fast enough. She had been losing weight over the past few months but is now just over what she weighed at 7.5months yet has grown 5cm. She is long and skinny and everyone comments on it!
I keep saying she is over active and is burning off what she gets into her way to fast and the health nurses have given me another few weeks to see how I go with fattening her up and otherwise will be sending us to a paediatrician for tests etc. I'm not keen on that. she is a very happy baby and just doesnt sit still for a second!
Its good to know I'm not the only one with a skinny active baby. Feeding her solids has become quite an artform and at the same time a big stress as she definately wont let anyone else give it to her but me.At one stage I was offering it 6 times a day and getting a tiny bit in each time. The health nurse doubted that I was even giving it to her and thought I was just breast feeding her. I have found now that if she wont eat I can sometimes get formula into her but only about 60lm at a time. Ithink she has a small belly!!
What have you tried to get your munchkin to fatten up?
