Kel - I had my mum making comments like that too and it really doesnt help at all, even now she will comment on if she thinks she has put on or lost weight since she last saw tori and it drives me crazy! You try so hard to fatten the little things up coz thats what you are told they are meant to be like and just when you have had a good few days of them eating someone says she looks like she has lost weight!
I didnt end up seeing a paed though, my mchn held off sending me and says she will refer me if i want but i figure she is a happy bub - never been a screemer or anything like thatso i have held off. If she was getting sick all the time or anything like that i would have though.
Sounds like your little princess is happy and healthy too!!
I, like you i imagine, am nervous even now knowing tht she is being weighed again in a few days. The little poop has had a few days of not eating much the past week or so too just to get me stressing more! i have found a few things that i know she will eat pretty much every time i offer it though and i tend to go for them, this probably means she dosnt have the variety ofther kids have in their diets but atleast she is growing and doing all the other things she is meant to tbe doing!
I remember weigh ins where she had put on 100gms fora month and getting excited about it! She has always grown a cm or so each one though which in my head says all that i get into her has gone into that growth.
It does get easier as they get older (well is has for me) as they can feed themselves, tori snacks on fruit and dry biscuits pretty muc h all day at the moment, it might not be a full meal like some kids but its something.
I have heard my friends say that their kids at the same ages as tori have eaten2-3 week bix for breaky, where as if i can get a half of one into my princess its time to break out the champagne! Even to this day she wont really eat breakfast and if she hasnt put on much weight this week, i am going to go back to giving her the formula in the mornings, she will always drink fro me!
When is you next weigh in? I am keen to see how you go. Dont beat yourself up over it, you can only do your best and i am positive you are doing that!
