    Aww hun youa re doing a great job!

    Their gains slow down a lot as they grow, , he is probably settling into a new routine, with the introduction of solids. And with all the extra movement he is burning off a lot more energy!! As long as milk is still his main source of sustinance then I would just keep going as you are.

    It can be so tricky when things change!

    I agree with Beema, there are a lot of factors as to why bub's weight-gain would slow.

    Growing 3cms and becoming more active takes a lot more energy

    You are doing a great job!

    DD is the same, I put it down to being more active and too busy to eat as much as she used to. She was 9kg at 6 months and at 9 months 9.65kg. As long as bubs is happy and growing in length then I don't think there's anything to worry about
